One of the most quintessential bag designs of all time, the Classic Lady Handbag is a difficult yet such a satisfying sew for bag crafters. It is no doubt a challenge to craft this bag with our humble home sewing machines and tools, but this project will definitely take your bag sewing skills to the next level.
