1940s petal trim handbag

This is a diagram sewing pattern for a sweet little stylish petal trimmed bag, which dates from the 1940s wartime era. It would be useful for weddings or as an evening bag especially if decorated with beads and sequins.

It has written instructions of how to cut the simple shapes for the paper pieces as well as the directions of how to sew it. A diagram pattern is a downloadable pattern with a digram of how to cut the paper pieces for your pattern- better for intermediate to expereinced sewers.

Please note that if you are a beginner at sewing and drafting patterns that we also sell a version of this with full size paper pieces you can lay directly onto your fabric and that we post to your home address- you can find this in 'Patterns by Post' in the 'Vintage store'
