Physical Pattern

The Willa is a fold-over crossbody with a toggle closure and spacious interior pockets for organizing essentials.

Designer-Inspired Look
The Willa was inspired by a popular American handbag with a foldover flap and toggle closure. We reimagined the design for home sewists, adding unique details and even more pockets.

Stay Organized On-the-Go
No need to dig around for your sunglasses, makeup pouch, wallet, or other small items. The Willa was thoughtfully designed with four accordion slip pockets to keep everything organized.

Pairs with Travel Essentials
Pair the Willa with the Travel Essentials collection, which includes the Shade Keeper sunglasses case, the Cord Companion organizer, and the Fold & Go Jewelry Case. Each companion piece fits perfectly in the Willa’s accordion pockets.

This purchase is for a sewing pattern to construct the Willa, not a completed bag.

Sewing Machine Requirements

It is important to know your machine and the materials that it can handle. If you are using real or faux leather, we recommend an industrial or heavy-duty domestic sewing machine. If you are using lightweight faux leather or cotton canvas, a domestic machine can be used. For best results, keep any woven interfacing out of the seam allowances on a domestic machine.
