I have made this shoulder bag in two different materials. One of them should be vinyl, cork or leather that can have raw edges and is used on binding and strap connectors. The exterior fabric looks great quilted onto rubber foam. I have used outdoor fabric as the main fabric and vinyl for the accent pieces. Waterproof canvas is used for the lining. If you make the entire bag of vinyl, cork or leather, you don’t need extra interfacing to make this bag sturdy. Leona is not hard to make. I requires a medium skill level. Great for fearless bag makers. You can follow along with my sped up YouTube video tutorial and see how I put this bag together. Of course you can also use it as a shoulder bag if you prefer that. A decorative clasp and nice hardware can attract attention. This bag will fit a small wallet, your cell phone, your lipstick and credit cards.

The bag pattern pieces are color-coded according to the fabrics you use, and there are labels you can cut out to pin to the pieces of fabric you have cut. There is a Material List telling you how much fabric you need and what hardware you need to make this bag. There is a Cutting Plan as well, telling you how many of each pieces you need to cut, and in which material.
