Women can never have enough Bags! This really great pattern was created in collaboration with Karin from @blackcatsewing.
Karin lives with her husband, child and a black cat in Baden-Württemberg. After her daily job in sales, her creativity can be found on Instagram under the @blackcatsewing account. She designed this magical pencil case for Milliblu’s.
This time she designed the pattern for the shopper made of artificial leather for us, carefully photographed every step and wrote the instructions.

Karin sewed the shopper out of synthetic leather with a braided look Article No: 132892. The artificial leather is available in our shop for traders in six great, trendy colors. The wonderful poplin with the incredibly realistic rose pattern Article No: 129028 was used for the lining.
