Basic Betty

Regular price $9.00 USD
Regular price Sale price $9.00 USD
She has minimal pattern pieces, very minimal hardware (I'm talking only one slider, a zipper and a magnetic snap or two), and literally took our testers around two hours to cut and construct!!! And she still comes out uniquely gorgeous! 
She is truly beginner friendly and perfect for filling event booths, small production makes, gifts, and selfish sews.

Her name is Basic Betty, but she’s far from basic!

Finished Size: 11 1/2 x 14 1/2 x 2 inches (HxWxD)

Skill level: Bold Beginner & Beyond!

Pattern includes a video tutorial and a bonus tutorial from That's Sew Nova!
