Paper Pattern - The Gabby Bag
Paper Pattern - The Gabby Bag
The Gabby Bag features exterior & interior zipper pockets, as well as an interior double slip pocket. Its single shoulder strap is approximately 34” (86 cm) long, but you can lengthen or shorten it to suit your own style. If you’d like to add rivets to your bag, a placement diagram is shown on the last page of the instructions. The Gabby was the April bag for the 2016 Bag of the Month club and now is available for individual resale!
I hope you love the Gabby! She's a fun sew and has had amazing reviews!
