BRISTOL Vanity Case Paper Sewing Pattern
Bristol is a charming and functional sewing pattern from Vanity, designed to suit all everyday uses. Available as a pencil case or small handbag, it can be sewn in two sizes for each version. The pencil cases can even be transformed into lunch boxes or coolers by adding a suitable thermal lining. Its double-slider zip flap, full lining without bias binding and small inside pocket make it a practical and attractive design. In terms of style, Bristol offers two types of handles — basic or with loops — as well as an optional 50 or 55 cm shoulder strap for carrying over the shoulder or across the body. The finishes are particularly neat, with seams completely enclosed between the layers. An essential model, to be sewn for the whole family or as a small, very feminine handbag. One pattern, a thousand uses: everyday pencil case, well-designed vanity case or small, elegant handbag. Available in 4 sizes.
