Mrs H – The Jangles Anchor Bag – Paper Pattern

The Jangles Anchor Bag is a stylish and modern handbag, with a structured feel and plenty of bag bling! It’s perfect for tucking under your arm as you shop or while out with friends or family. With a zipped central divider, a zip pocket and slip pocket, it’s great for helping to organise all the things you need to carry with you. And the space between the zip bridge and the top of the bag is just the right size to carry a folded umbrella!

The Jangles Anchor Bag sewing pattern is a great pattern for learning new bagmaking techniques. Not only will you use gorgeous hardware, you’ll also learn how to insert a zipped central divider and how to make closed end straps. The bag pattern also includes instructions for a zip pocket and a slip pocket, as well as instructions for an optional cross-body strap.

This handbag sewing pattern is a great opportunity to experiment with how to use bag hardware to add bling, as it guides you through how to use zips as piping, and how to use the eye-catching Strap Anchors that help give this bag its structured feel.
