[MY TESTER VERSION] Paulette Bag

HOBO BAG | SLOUCHY BAG | ROOMY BAG | SHOULDER BAG | PAULETTE BAG | SHAMBALLA DESIGNS

This time I would like to share my tester version of the newest pattern by Sammy Valencia, Shamballa Designs.

This bag called Paulette.
I love these designs, hobo style. I love how slouchy this bag, roomy, and the size is just perfect. It allows lots of room to carry such necessities as cell phones, cosmetics, as well as wallets, and other personal items. And for the most valuable things can be put in the zipper pocket inside. Other than the zippered pocket inside also have open pockets too.

This bag has a finished size of around 9- 1/2” High x 14” Wide x 4” Deep (24 cm H x 35 cm W x 10 cm D).
And just nice for intermediate level.
