The Mimi Bag Sewing Pattern
Description
Meet your new favourite make - the Mimi Bag! A gathered, ruffled shoulder bag in three sizes (Mini, Midi, Maxi), designed for confident beginners. Sew it in cotton, linen, or something bold and watch it come to life.
A fun and (fairly) easy sewing pattern for a puffy, everyday bag in three sizes.
Quick to make, satisfying to finish, and cute every time.
This is a relaxed, beginner-friendly project with straightforward steps and photos to guide you through. If you want a bag you’ll actually use (and enjoy sewing), Mimi is it.
