The patterns available in the pattern store are downloadable digital PDF's.  They come with detailed picture instructions to walk you through the sewing process.

The patterns print 8.5" x 11" at true size so you'll need to tape the pattern pages together and cut out the pieces. Each page has a grid number in the lower left hand corner e.g. Grid (1,1) indicating row 1-column 1, Grid (2,1) indicating row 2-column 1.  Arrange your pages per the grid order and use the dotted lines to tape your pages.  A video guide to taping your PDF Pattern pages is available here .

Payments are made through PayPal or Google Pay.  Therefore your payment is secure and Sew Chic Handbags has no access to your credit card information.

Digital PDF Pattern Return Policy: Because these are digital items, I cannot accept returns on the PDF Patterns in my pattern shop.  However, please reach out to me if there are questions or concerns on your order.

Handbag Return Policy: While I hope you love your new bag, I understand that sometimes returns are necessary. I accept returns within 14 days of receipt of your handbag. Your money will be refunded after the bag is mailed back to me in good, resalable condition. Unfortunately, I cannot cover the cost of return shipping-you, the customer, must cover the return shipping cost including postage, packaging, etc.

Handbag Shipping Policy: I offer free shipping to the United States via USPS Ground. Your item will ship in 1-2 business days. For international orders, please contact me via Etsy.

For questions on sewing your bag or any issues with your purchase please send me a note on Etsy (fastest response) or email me at:

Thanks and Happy Sewing!

Me and the Isabel Satchel Sewing Pattern
