Daytona Bag - PDF Sewing Pattern

This really is the perfect everyday handbag! With its classic but modern look, you will find endless uses for it, no matter if you're making it for yourself or for a friend. It's fully lined with a zippered divider pocket, dividing its interior to three separate compartments, which makes finding your things so very easy!

The divider pocket is perfect for your passport and boarding pass when traveling, or for other things you want to keep safe and wrinkle free. It also has a smaller zippered pocket in the lining, and open pockets for cellphone, compact, pen etc. It's really fun to make, and the exterior is made with just a single fat quarter of quilting cotton, so it's a great way to use that favourite fat quarter you've been saving for a chance to really display it.
