The Busta Bag was the first bag in the Quarterly Mystery Subscription Box and is now available as part of the Simply Classic pattern collection. This video tutorial will take you through every step of construction for The Busta Bag.
The bag is a small chic bag that can be changed from an everyday bag to an evening bag with the change of the handle. A strap (or crossbody strap) out of faux leather makes it more of an every day bag. A chain strap dresses it up for an evening out. Both options are included in the pattern. You can purchase a copy of the pattern with this link:

The faux leather used in this video can be found in red or blue with this link:

We used 100% pure linen for the lining in the color Natural:

Happy Sewing,
Chris
