The Ocean Tide Shoulder Bag is a carefree and vintage inspired casual bag! It reminds me of the 70’s and has a super groovy shape. It’s meant to be constructed with a leather shoulder strap but I’ve included directions to make a fabric strap. You can also add an optional zipper pocket and magnetic snap. I’ve included two sizes: Low Tide is the smaller size and the larger size is the High Tide. The Ocean Tide might be simple in design but it sure does pack a punch!

This pattern is for Confident Beginners. The only thing that might seem difficult is making sure you cut the pattern pieces correctly, I’ve included very detailed tips on how to do this. My awesome testers ended up sewing several during testing (as did I)! If at any point you need help or just want to have fun, join my Facebook group (JOIN HERE). I'm very active in my group and I have very helpful group members.

This pattern includes:

• ALL / FULL Sized Pattern pieces

• a Cutting List (to use instead of the included rectangular pattern pieces - to save the trees!)

• colorful and clear diagrams for most steps

• small Notes section on every couple of pages

• an A0 copy-shop file

• Layers to conveniently print certain multi-sized pieces

• Labels to keep track of your cut pieces
