DIY Charlie-style bag with tutorial
My friend, Ashley, sent me a picture of a super cute pocketbook on Etsy that was $42 with the comment "Came across these.... you could definitely make them and I would definitely rather buy from you than some stranger". Sooo, knowing I had an anxious "customer" already, I found a tutorial I had conveniently already pinned on Pinterest, located some extra fabric I had, and went to work. It was pretty easy, but it took me about 3 hours just because I misread one part of the instructions and had to rip a few seams out. I'm sure my next one won't take so long since I know what I'm doing now! I'll update when I finish hers.
I made this bag using this tutorial. I don't think the tutorial specifies the amount of fabric she used though. I used a little less than a yard (of each print) of the fabric I already had, but when I make the next one, I will buy a yard of each print because I want to try to put pockets in (but FYI it might not be so reversible with pockets).
LOVE IT!! I had to switch out my current pocketbook immediately!!
Hope you like it too!
