ByAnnie Serenity Shoulder Bag

The ByAnnie Serenity Shoulder Bag is a sophisticated everyday bag with a striking asymmetric front flap closure, a comfortable padded strap with wooden or metal ring accents, and a roomy interior built for real life. Complete step-by-step instructions guide you through every stage of construction, with options to texturise the flap fabric for added dimension and drama.

The pattern is written to make the most of gradated or directional fabrics, with full layout guidance included. Plain, quilted, or texturised fabrics all work beautifully.

The Texturised Flap Option

For a truly show-stopping finish, texturise the flap fabric using Bosal Stitch & Steam with a layer of wool batting placed between the fabric and the stabiliser before stitching. One ½-yard package of Bosal Stitch & Steam texturises enough fabric for three Serenity bags. Prefer a simpler make? Simply skip the texturising step and use plain or quilted fabric throughout.
