Let's make The Burcham by Simply Classic (previously called the DB Crossbody) using gorgeous Italian leather. In this video tutorial, I will walk you through the pattern pieces, the bag’s features, and every step of the construction process.
About The Burcham:
This Dooney and Bourke-inspired bag is compact, with an exterior zipper pocket and two interior pockets. It's large enough for the essentials, but small enough to be light and comfortable.
Finished Size: 7.5" W x 7.5" H x 3" D
Skill Level: Confident Beginner
