                Please download ZIP-file as well! These instructions contain more than 280 step-by-step photos to show you how to make the “VARA” bag by Hansedelli. The total sewing time is about 4–7 hours, however the amount of time required depends on the version you choose to make and your personal sewing ability. The instructions are so detailed that even a beginner, who has only ever made one or two bags before, will have no trouble making the VARA bag.

                This ebook is not just a simple sewing tutorial, it's more like a book, with lots of tips and info, just like the other Hansedelli ebooks. Don't be afraid of the many pages! There are only so many, as each step is described in great detail so that you can achieve the best possible result. As an advanced sewer, you will probably only need to read the text at certain points and can otherwise sew using only the photos.

                This is a digital sewing instruction in english. It comes in A4-PDF format, therefor open and print the pattern pieces/ebook using Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available as a free download. Using another PDF reader may lead to pages being shown incorrectly. You will also need a printer to print the pattern. No ebook reader is needed.

                Difficulty: 3 of 5 Working time: about 4-7 hours

                VARA is a small shoulder bag in a modern, geometric design that matches its big brother the “VARO backpack”. It measures approx. 25cm x 30cm making it an ideal, everyday handbag.

                VARA can be made as a simple, single-compartment shoulder bag or with up to 2 outside pockets – these can be placed at the back or at the front hidden by the flap. You’re free to choose if and where you want to add an outside pocket. You can also choose between a zip fastening or a magnetic snap. Instructions for both versions can be found in this ebook.

                The bag is closed with a flap that is held in place with a magnetic snap. Additionally, you can also secure the main compartment with a zip. For beginners, I recommend making the bag without the zip.

                There is a small pocket on the inside where you can keep little bits and bobs. Because of the optional outside pocket, the inside pocket does not feature a zip.

                You decide whether you simply use webbing as a strap or whether you sew suitable straps yourself.

                As a rule, I recommend you always use water and dirt-repellent outer fabric for a bag so that you’ll get the maximum use out of it. I recommend to use not-too-thick artificial leather for the outside of this bag. Thick artificial leather should only be used for the base of this bag

                If you want to use canvas, thin coated cotton or thin artificial leather, some pieces should be interfaced. If you want to use thicker artificial leather or oilcloth, you do not need to reinforce it. In order to accentuate the curves of the bag, the inner pocket is interfaced with fusible volume fleece (alternatively thin foam interfacing or Thermolam).

                These instructions use interfacing from Freudenberg (Vlieseline/ Vilene), which are named with the Vliesline designation. But in the pattern you will also find alternatives which are available in the USA.

                Even as a child I always wanted to look behind things and know how they work. I never wanted to become a teacher or a veterinarian like the other children, but always an inventor. So with the foundation of my label Hansedelli in April 2014 I fulfilled a childhood dream, because as a designer you are somehow an inventor :-)

                As Hansedelli I design patterns for bags, purses and co. and create sewing instructions. I attach a lot of importance to detailed instructions and good photos, so that even beginners can follow the instructions.
