Free Sewing Pattern: Ronda Handbag
With Christmas coming up, it is time to make some fun bags for your girlfriends,  sisters, and moms (yes, that includes mom-in-law), maybe even your daughters...  (Isn't it fun when little girls grow big...????)
So I thought this would be a great time to post another free purse pattern:  this time it is the Ronda Handbag sewing pattern.

The Ronda Handbag was featured in Haute Handbags Magazine, Spring 2010 issue.

Super Cute Pockets on the side: handy too!
I love the Ronda Handbag so much!
When I carry it around it surprises me how super convenient it is!  


I love the pockets on the side.  So easy to get to!  Even my husband can now find my keys!

The front and back are simple, but so fun when you use a specialty fabric with a fun print or so....
The sides have those handy dandy pockets right below a playful tie....
So adorable...



And inside:  more pockets, even one with a zipper!

And the straps are long enough that you can go shopping hands-free!  So convenient........
Just hang that purse over your shoulder, and walk around the store.  No worries about keeping track of your cart and where your purse might be....
Love it....

Potato Sack Edition of the Ronda Handbag
I used to sell this sewing pattern on Etsy, and this is what one customer said:  

"Yahoo! What a fun purse to make and your directions were so concise and easy to follow. I'd never done a zipper pocket and loved it! My bag is adorable even if I do say so!! Thanks again to your creative pattern and potato sack! My sack says Penny Pincher and thanks to your good prices for your pattern and sack, I'm happy to say I am! Your company is great! I know I will be referring friends to you as soon as they see my new purse!"


What a sweetheart.....

I just love this handbag, and if you didn't notice my name is Ronda so what could be more fitting then a Ronda handbag. I have been making them for all my family. I have made them based on the family member, one related to relay of life, one related to breast cancer, one for autism, one loves flip flops, one loves music etc. They are so fun. I have added zippers to the top of some and have changed the direction of the handles, added pockets to the front. Just love them.

Hi Ronda! Yes, I immediately noticed that your name is Ronda... same peling even!
I am so honored that you have been making these bags... Sounds like they have been personalized perfectly.
I would love to see pictures, if you have them!
