Complete bag making kit: Cambridge Bag (Small)

The Cambridge Bag by Christine Dans of Hammerstitch
The Cambridge Bag is a minimalist waxed canvas purse with five pockets and an adjustable crossbody strap.  It can be made in two sizes, with a canvas or leather strap.  The large size is a great everyday purse, and the small bag is perfect for when you just need to carry the essentials.

This is a measure-and-cut pattern. All pattern measurements are in inches (imperial).

Why shop for a kit? When you purchase a kit, you have the perk of only purchasing exactly what you need, without paying for extra fabric and interfacing that will be wasted. This takes all of the decision making away, and provides a gorgeous finished bag. Don't forget orders over $75 automatically get a 10% discount! (does not include shipping or taxes).
