“Coach” Style Handbag – Free Sewing Tutorial

Tired of the plain old rag bag that uses charm pack squares? Here is a pattern that is simple, fun and uses up your scraps.

What can you refashion a man's shirt into? A skirt, a dress or a woman's shirt. But when it comes to a military shirt the first choice that pops up into your mind is a shoulder bag.
