Welcome to my version of the Convertible/Reversible Bag – it is the most complex bag I have ever sewn!
I am delighted to be taking part in this blog hop. It includes a discount code for the bag pattern, and a giveaway:)
The pattern is well written, with clear diagrams and instructions guiding you through step by step. I struggled to visualise how it all fitted together until the last minute, however it worked! Once you have cut out the pieces, and attached your interfacing the bag comes together relatively quickly – I sewed it up in less than five hours! (admittedly I could have been more accurate in my seam allowances and had a better result, #cough).
What’s amazing about this pattern is you end up with four different bags. Goodness knows how Sarah came up with the design, never mind wrote the pattern.
Here’s the first of the 4 in 1 bags. A cute clutch with a magnetic button flap closure , highlighted with some fun piping.
Inside the bottom of this bag is a zip, pull this out, and tada a whole new bigger bag.
Moving on the third design, turn the whole bag inside out – you can make the pattern with different base colours making a very different design, check out some of the other great contributors to the hop to see what I mean.
And last but by no means least. Remove the adjustable strap, and push the top of the bag into the base, creating this fourth design. This is my favourite of the four:)

I was given this pattern for free in exchange for this tour, but all opinions are my own.
Love your bag and that you used the same fabrics for both sides. This pattern really is amazing, it’s so much fun seeing how everyone’s look so different just by using different fabrics.
I love that fabric combo, is lovely and your bag is so pretty. You did a great job
Nice job, Vicky. Love this pattern, too.
Cool bag! I’d make one with purples and black!
Oh my goodness, you are so clever! Mummy can’t sew! x
Wow, that’s some bag. Am amazed someone’s created it themselves
I love your bag, what a really clever design.
I love the lime green fabric you used! I would love to make one in Navy and Corals! thanks!
Love your colors! I tend to be collegiate in my purse choices….I’m thinking red, gray, and white and black houndstooth!
Love the bag and thanks so much for the competition
You made that? Wow, it’s amazing! And very useful too. Well done 🙂
I really like the coordinating fabric for both sides! It’s very sophisticated and grown up 🙂
Wow, you have done a fabulous job, it is stunning bag. Mich x
