For the large tote you'll need 5/8 yard fabric for the exterior and the same amount in contrasting fabric for the lining...as well as interfacing and template plastic or cardboard to keep the shape of the bag! The handbag requires 1/2 yard each of fabric for exterior and lining.

Amy Butler Diaper Bag Pattern

SOLD OUT - I can reorder for you!

This is my favourite Amy Butler pattern....because I've made over 7 of these bags and always receive comments on them! They are gorgeously designed, roomy but light enough to sling over your shoulder... you'll want to make more than one too!

Pattern includes pocket, mobile phone pocket, change mat and cover but I tend to make the bag without these for simplicity! this is great for a beginner sewer or more experienced if you make all the extras...

You will not be disappointed and it makes a wonderful present for new mummies

Its yours for A$19.95 + postage

Amy Butler Weekender Travel Bag
