Elevate your everyday wardrobe with the Harriet Bucket Bag Pattern by Kate Bashynski for Sallie Tomato. Harriet combines a relaxed, modern bucket-style silhouette with distinctive swooping side arches, a curved front slip pocket, a secure magnetic snap closure, and a roomy shaped bottom. Its standout feature—sleek metal grommet strap connectors—gives this casual shoulder bag an instant high-end designer edge.
Designed with versatility and clean finishes in mind, the pattern uses a combination of rotary measure-and-cut dimensions and included full-size pattern templates for shaped sections. It features detailed step-by-step instructions, clear diagrams, and a QR code on the back cover linking directly to a full video tutorial so you can sew along with confidence from start to finish.
