pearlheartgtr Report post Posted April 24, 2017 Hey guys! I'm looking to make a Sophia handbag for my mother for Mother's Day. I have everything to make it, but I need a pattern to build it. I emailed Tandy with hopes that they have a pattern for it, but I figured I'd ask here also. https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/sophia-handbag-kit Thanks!

NCArcher Report post Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Free pattern available from Tandy https://www.leathercraftlibrary.com/p-1889-sophia-handbag-kit-44314-00-bonus-tooling-pattern.aspx? It may just be a tooling pattern. I didn't download it. Edited April 24, 2017 by NCArcher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearlheartgtr Report post Posted April 24, 2017 I have those already. I need the pattern to build the bag. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stetson912 Report post Posted April 26, 2017 There is no really available pattern. I got the kit and made one from the kit. You would have to make some adjustments probably. I don't think I'm allowed to share it or not because of copyright. :/ I would need to find that out but don't know who to ask. And if I could share it it would be just a measurement sheet, I don't have the ability to make a proper digital pattern Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearlheartgtr Report post Posted April 26, 2017 Thanks, but I think I may have a good idea on what I need to do. I found a thread here where someone made the bag and posted a few pictures of it. With that and Tandy's bag measurements, I think I have enough to go on. The one alternative tooling pattern (posted above) has a full size picture of one of the sides, so I can take it from there and build off of that. Would you be able to give me a length of the straps? That's the only thing left I would really need. Thanks a lot! I really hope I don't screw this up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pearlheartgtr Report post Posted April 26, 2017 No big deal. I kinda figured they were around the 2' length going by other handbags I looked up. Thanks a lot for your help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stetson912 Report post Posted April 26, 2017 Welcome. I'm in the process of making one too, I just have to piece it together haha. Although I'm not real happy with it. But you win some you lose some. It's just the dye I used came out different than I hoped. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
