{Flamenco} elegant and feminin zippered bag pattern

0 Flares Facebook 0 Twitter 0 0 Flares ×

Discover Flamenco, the zippered bag that combines elegance and femininity!

The pattern includes 2 sizes: Medium, perfect for a chic everyday bag, and Large, ideal as a student bag or briefcase for A4+ documents.

Video : in addition to the illustrated and very detailed PDF instructions, 2 videos show the assembly of the Flamenco bag.

The pattern is supplied with an additional projector friendly PDF file.

A unique design

The front panel of Flamenco is inspired by the ruffles of flamenco dresses, showcasing fabric, color, or texture combinations beautifully (see page 4 of the PDF for pairing ideas).

The bag closes with a zipper.

Refined finishes: The curves are elegantly highlighted with piping, and a no-piping option is included for a simpler finish.

Two styles in one: The curved design can be completely omitted for a more classic, minimalist, and timeless version of the bag.

A functional bag with 3 pockets – one zippered pocket on the back and two inside (a divided patch pocket and a zippered pocket) – everything has its place!

Flamenco Pattern Level

The testers of the Flamenco bag pattern mostly rated it as “Intermediate” level.

Video!

I filmed and edited 2 videos to guide you through sewing your Flamenco bag.

The videos show the assembly of the Flamenco bag in the Medium size, without audio commentary. The assembly technique remains the same for the Large size.

I’ve broken down the assembly of Flamenco into 2 videos:

  • The first covers the assembly of the bag exterior.
  • The second focuses on the assembly of the lining and finishing touches.

The videos are chaptered for quick access to the specific part of the assembly you wish to view.

The videos are password-protected. The password can be found in the pattern’s PDF, it must be entered in UPPERCASE.
