Gena Shoulder Bag Pattern

$12.50

The Gena Shoulder Bag is many bags in one! Featuring a larger outer bag and a removable inner bag, you can make any combination to fit your style. Snaps secure the inner bag in place, forming a divider for the outer bag. When you just want to carry the inner bag, the snaps can be tucked to form a curvy shape. Make it with one strap or two!
