The Sassy Saddlebag

Wow! Where did June go?! Can't believe that we are in July, and today it's raining! It was my parents 60th Wedding Anniversary on the 25th June so I spent most of June doing a cross stitch as part of their present. When I was looking through photos for this post I realised I hadn't taken a photo of the completed cross stitch, so here is an almost finished pic!



June's Bigger Box of Fabulous which shipped to subscribers early July, contained a bag pattern from Mrs H, The Sassy Saddlebag. My mid year resolution 😍 is to make up the patterns and project cards which go into the boxes before they are posted! Fingers crossed! This is my version, the small size. I decided not to put the flap border on and I used chicago screws instead of rivets on the straps, I find these so much easier to use as you just make a hole in the fabric and screw the two halves together. 

I cut all the outer pieces including the strap, from a half metre of fabric. What I love about this pattern is that you can make it your own by cutting the pieces out of various fabrics, or out of one design as I have.




Here is the finished bag!





If you would like to make this bag you can find the full size paper pattern available on my website, here.


Happy sewing!

  1. I really love the shape of this bag. It looks like it could be converted to a waist bag? Love the fabrics too!

    1. Yes easily! The gusset may be a bit deep but I think that could be altered. Give it a try!
