Sandra Saddle Bag // Step-by-Step Bag Making Tutorial

I am back with another bag making video tutorial, this time for the super awesome 70's inspired, Sandra Saddle Bag by Swoon Patterns

Shiloh Satchel Bag TutorialThe Sandra Saddle Bag is fairly quick sew, once I had my pieces cut it only took me less than two hours to complete. It's rated a 2/4 on the Swoon Difficulty scale, meaning it's nice if you have experience making bags, but you don't need to be an advanced bag maker.
