Florence Frayed Bag - Pattern Release!

 New PDF sewing pattern release! The Florence Frayed Bag!

It is the perfect little evening bag, very high end and exclusive looking with it’s frayed seams and very structured shape. It’s got a fully lined zipper pocket and an open slip pocket for your cellphone and you can chose to make it with or without handle connectors.

The Florence Frayed Bag pattern is available in English and Swedish HERE.


The Florence Frayed Bag is absolutely a new favourite for me, so fun to sew and you will for sure get the question ”where did you buy that bag” when you wear it!

This one I made from a thrifted denim shirt. This pattern is perfect for repurposing those denim clothes, fraying curtains or upholstery fabric you might have on hand. The lovely silver vinyl and bag hardware is from Borlänge Sycentrum.


It's surprisingly roomy despite it's small size.


The zipper pocket is fully lined and it has a slip pocket for your cellphone.

Florence Frayed Bag Sew Along Video, I recommend you watch it on YouTube directly by using this link.


I LOVE this little bag! It just makes me so happy! I love how it can take any outfit from "nice" to "WOW!" This Florence Frayed Bag is the one I made for my YouTube tutorial for this pattern and I just can't get over how something can be so cute AND be so fashionable at the same time you know?



This version I made in a pink boucle fabric bought from a local shop, I'm sure you can find similar in most fabric shops today as it's a popular fabric for dressmaking.




It's such a fun sew and I hope you'll love it as much as I do!

The bottom is sturdy and broad, making the bag nicely roomy.
