Luna is also available as part of a Sew Better Bags Bundle, a great option if you want to understand why bagmaking techniques work and then put them into practice right away.
The bundle pairs the Sew Better Bags eBook with the Luna Mini Handbag & Wristlet pattern, so you can learn the fundamentals behind structure, interfacing, and clean finishes, and then apply them in an elegant, boutique-worthy project.
Inside the eBook, you'll learn:
👉 View the Luna + Sew Better Bags Bundle
Luna is also included in the Tote + Pouch Bundle, a chance to choose your own tote and pouch and make them as a matching or coordinating set.

The Luna bags make great companion projects alongside:
Perfect for weddings, date nights, special events, or as a polished everyday accessory.
Do I need to print anything?
Just one piece, the front panel template. Everything else is measure and cut.
What sizes are included?
Two styles in one pattern: a mini handbag (9" × 4" × 1.25") and a wristlet clutch (9" × 5.5" × 1.25").
What skill level is Luna?
Confident Beginner. It's a great next step after a zipper pouch or two.
What kind of straps does it use?
You make your own straps, and the pattern shows you how.
Can I use cork or faux leather?
Yes! Cotton, cork or faux leather all work, and I share the interfacing combos for each.
Is there video help?
Yes. There are video tutorials for zipper help, like making zipper tabs. They're extra help alongside the written pattern, not a full sew-along.
How is Luna different from Sunset?
Luna uses the same front-panel shape as Sunset, turned into a polished little handbag or wristlet.

This is an easy, step by step pattern. I have never installed a zipper and with the detailed instructions I was able to add the zipper and create a professional looking bag!
Cute little purse.Will be great for my nieces.
Good instructions - great designer
this Is the first pattern I have ever purchased like this. I’m almost through with my Luna bag. My diagonal strips didn’t match up with the template but I just added another little strip. I appreciated the photos very much!
Brilliant pattern, loads of photos and clear instructions. I have other patterns which are just as great from the series- give them a go, you won’t be disappointed
Just adorable and the perfect size and style for casual or elegant depending on the material you use to create this great design. I highly recommend this pattern. TYSVM!

Very well laid out, tons of information on notions to have on hand before starting. Will refer to it for sure.
So easy to follow. Highly recommend. Mandy is an excellent teacher!!!
Great pattern with easy to follow instructions. My pouch turned out so cute!
Excellent pattern, one off the quickest I've sewn
Easy pretty. Great size
Very pleased with my purchase! Really great tips and tricks. Definitely purchase this, don’t wait it is that good. I’m new at sewing and it’s been very valuable to me.
I purchased the Kathy tote and Frankie pouch for my bundle. I downloaded the patterns but I have not yet had the chance to sew them up. Instructions look easy and I can’t wait to get started.
I love this pattern, and I love the finished product even more. The instructions were clear but there was one step where I did wish there was an accompanying video.
The book is very informative, easy to read and understand, has tables that are easy to use.
Great. Mainly all the information for bag making in one file. I make bags, pouches and such all time so I find it very handy.
I thought your instructions and video were great!
Great job!
This is a super pattern. Easy to follow directions and fast to make. I used some small pieces of leftover fabric for this project. Great to put items in for a gift for someone I’ll or just as a gift. Thank you Amanda for continuing to offer easy to follow, wonderful patterns.
Great pattern, easy to follow! Will purchase more patterns!
Lovely pattern. Can't wait to sew for Christmas quilt.
My first tote bag to make was the Kathy Tote Bag. I love the step by step instructions and detailed photos. Some steps I zipped through and some others I would go back and reread or double check what I was doing with the photos. I loved making this so much that I have several other patterns ready to get started on. Amanda makes her patterns so easy to understand and the added tips are excellent. My only problem is deciding what to make next. Thank you for understanding exactly what I need to be comfortable making a bag!
