Emma Shoulder Bag Schnittmuster von Sallie Tomato

I was impressed how clearly the pattern explained the pocket construction—each step made sense even for an intermediate sewer like me. The finished bag feels sturdy and looks way more expensive than it should for a DIY project.

I’m usually picky about bag patterns, but this one feels thoughtfully laid out—the interior pockets are placed exactly where I need them, and the instructions were clear enough that I didn’t have to redo a single seam. Finished mine in a weekend and it’s already my go-to for everyday errands.

The exterior pockets are a lifesaver when I'm digging for keys on the go. The pattern walked me through everything clearly, and the finished bag looks way more polished than I expected for my first attempt.
