The Manhattan Bag  pattern includes instructions for a gorgeous shoulder bag in 2 sizes (Mamma & Miss), as well as additional instructions for a"Removable Case" for eyeglasses, sunglasses, or other items. Hardware Kit available HERE

The Manhattan is extremely fun to make and very unique, because the front flap actually zips open along it's edge! Why? So you can put cool stuff in it!! I have included instructions for the aforementioned "Removable Case" and this actually sticks into the flap with (optional) velcro and is….. wait for it….. removable!! This case is perfect for your glasses or sunglasses. 

The Manhattan Zippered Casea free supplemental pattern, fits perfectly in the Mamma size front flap or on it's own in the Miss. Instructions to add (optional) velcro so it stays in place in the bag flap are also included. Get this free pattern HERE. More free tutorials for additional matching items will be added at a later date.

Tutorial

Is there a tutorial for this bag? If so I cannot find it. If not I wonder why, would love to see one. Thanks

Hi Cindy! Glad you like the bags. The pattern itself is so detailed, it serves as the tutorial. It's quite easy to put together, and the pattern has a ton of diagrams. If you have any issues at all, you can definitely contact me for help.

Great pattern!

I have made several of these bags in both sizes, and I love this pattern! The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the bag turns out wonderfully. It has some really cool features you won't find on another bag - I love the flap zip pocket and the extra case for the Mama size is really a fun feature. Even if you are new to bag making, you can make this bag!

Love this bag!!

I made the Manhattan Mamma as part of the Bag of the Month Club. I am SO glad I did! I made the body of it out of a faux suede and everyone that sees it loves to pet it. :) It's the perfect size and the stabilizers used really let it keep its shape nicely so it stays wide open to access the main compartment. Plus all of the pockets are super handy. I made mine without the velcro inside the flap pocket mostly because I only had black and white velcro and I just didn't think it would look good against my fabric. But it still works totally fine without that. I just pop little zipped cases in there and I have all of my stuff with me when I need it!
