This slimline shoulder bag sits snugly under your arm as you weave your way through city crowds. It has a zippered closure at the top for added security. It's a real city-slicker!

You will learn to insert a zip on a curve, make internal compartment and zip pockets and stabilise the bag base. You'll also learn how to attach straps on a "boxed corner" seam. (And if you didn't already know, you'll ALSO learn what a "boxed corner" is!!).

Vary the straps, fabrics and embellishments* to make a bag to match every outfit!
