Roundabout Handbag Pattern from Ghee’s
We love this versatile pattern! You can make a round or oval shaped bag in one of 3 sizes from 6″ round with a 1 1/2″ gusset to a large 11″ x 13″ with a 3″ gusset. The lined bag uses an exposed zipper opening and has an inside zipper pocket. The pattern includes ideas for embellishment or you can combine leftovers from other stitching or piecing projects to create your own look. Don’t need a handbag? This pattern can also be used to create a custom CD holder. Linda even sells the inserts on her website.
