Free sewing pattern: Happy Hobo bag

Caroline from Sew Can She created this gorgeous Hobo style bag, and she’s sharing the free sewing pattern and tutorial! The bag is packed with the kind of details to make this your favorite everyday bag – pleating on the outside gives it a nice slouchy shape. A phone pocket on the side and a zip pocket on the lining help keep you organized. Her bag is made extra fabulous with machine embroidered motifs across the front and on the handles. If you don’t have an embroidery machine, you can use a floral printed fabric instead.
