It's super trendy. Love that it is a bag but can also be easily turned into a fashionable beautiful clutch. I think it would be ideal for those that like a bigger bag too because this could easily be scaled up\u00a0on a 200% scale maybe to make it big enough to use for all the stuff I seem to carry everyday!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21288 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara.jpg\" alt=\"Sara\" width=\"650\" height=\"474\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara.jpg 650w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara-500x365.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara-150x109.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/474;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21288\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara.jpg\" alt=\"Sara\" width=\"650\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara.jpg 650w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara-500x365.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sara-150x109.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><div id=\"mab-2102116\" class=\"magic-action-box mab-type-sales-box mab-id-21021 mabstyle-mab-lead use-mab-button-default mab-fields-layout-default mab-responsive\" data-mabid=\"21021\" data-trackid=\"21021\" data-type=\"sales-box\" data-track=\"1\" ><div class=\"mab-pad mab-wrap mab-aside-left mab-aside-type-image\"><div class=\"mab-aside\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Featured-small1.jpg\" alt=\"Opt In Image\" width=\"200\" style=\" width: 200px;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Featured-small1.jpg\" alt=\"Opt In Image\" width=\"200\" style=\" width: 200px;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Featured-small1.jpg\" alt=\"Opt In Image\" width=\"200\" style=\" width: 200px;\" \/><\/noscript><\/noscript><\/div><div class=\"mab-content\"><div class=\"mab-heading\">Buy the All in a Flap Bag Pattern<\/div><div class=\"mab-main-copy\"><p>You can download this pattern from my design account on Payhip. \u00a0Add it to your cart and check out. \u00a0The pattern will be saved in your Pattern Library safely until you are ready to sew, then you can download and print it at any time.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"mab-main-action-wrap\"><a class=\"mab-main-button mab-button-type-css3 mab-button-0\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/flapbag\" style=\"\" >Download the pattern<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clear\" style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11600 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pin-Me.jpg\" alt=\"Pin Me\" width=\"275\" height=\"84\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pin-Me.jpg 275w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pin-Me-150x46.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 275px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 275\/84;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11600\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pin-Me.jpg\" alt=\"Pin Me\" width=\"275\" height=\"84\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pin-Me.jpg 275w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pin-Me-150x46.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21019 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Pin-Me1.jpg\" alt=\"All in a Flap fold over clutch bag with options for shoulder or wrist strap.
