About the Bag

Freddy is an icon where Maggy55 patterns are concerned. Everyone loves it, everyone wants to make it.
This version of Freddy takes the hobo-style backpack, and turns it into a gorgeous shoulder bag.
And those pockets! Who doesn't love pockets! The exterior now has double slip pockets to hold your phone, keys, etc with plenty of room to spare. And speaking of pockets, the interior slip pocket is incorporated in the lining for a more refined, sleek look.
This bag is a great everyday bag, plenty of room for all your on-the -go necessities, all while looking stylish.

About The Teacher

Hi everyone! My name is Sue Cheek, and I am the owner and designer of both Maggy55 patterns, and Maggy55 finished handbags.

I have been sewing leather handbags for over eight years, and have loved every aspect of it. I was a custom drapery designer for many years, and a lot of the design elements that I used in that industry, can be reflected in the details of my finished bags and patterns.
