September is a great month to pull out that sewing machine and get to creating....
The Rachel Handbag is super cute and convenient too...!
It was my best-selling pattern when I still had my Etsy shop...
(in my former life... lol!)
I love the pockets on the front to keep my life somewhat more organized...
Knotted handle attached to rings for fun.
At that time sewing with burlap was a 'new' concept and the article kept my email inbox jam-packed full...!!! It was a pleasant surprise... :-)
Since then everyone and their dog has started using burlap, but I must say it is STILL fun and cute and all that good stuff!
Happy sewing!

This Rachel Purse Sewing Pattern comes as a free PDF file at the bottom of this post.
Please let me know how YOUR Rachel Handbag has turned out! I LOVE seeing your photo's ~ email them to me so they can be posted on the Show and Tell page..... :-)
P.S. The potato sack sewing tips are also included
as sewing with potato sacks is NOT created equal to sewing with other burlap... :)
