This is variation #2 for the “Annie” bag pattern. The first variation is here.

Like variation #1, this variation also lowers the difficulty of the pattern but preserves a contrasting yoke.

Annie bag pattern : variation #2

Altering the pattern to get this version of Annie is really easy  :

Instead of using A and B pattern pieces to sew the exterior of the bag, use E and C : the lining pieces.

Cutting

Put A and B aside, you won’t need them.

– Cut “C”

• 4 times in contrast fabric (instead of 2 as instructed)

– Cut “E” :

• twice in lining fabric (as instructed)
• twice in main (exterior) fabric

Sewing

Following the sewing and interfacing instructions, each time :

• “A” is mentioned, substitute “E” in main fabric.
• “B” is mentioned, substitute “C”.

At the “Bag body and yoke” step, skip points 1 to 5 and simply pin C to E, right sides together, aligning E upper edge with C straight long edge. Stitch and go on with the instructions.

Here is the result :
