You know that feeling when you finally find the perfect bag? The one that makes you stand a little taller, feel a little more pulled together, even when life is chaos?
That's Luna.
She's the bag you reach for when you want to feel like yourself again. Brunch with friends. A quick coffee run. Date night. The kind of bag that whispers "I've got this" even when you're not sure you do.
The Luna Mini Handbag & Wristlet Pattern is a Confident Beginner pattern designed to help you sew elegant, boutique-style bags on your domestic machine — without complicated techniques or specialty equipment.
This pattern includes two versatile styles in one: a petite handbag and a wristlet clutch. Perfect for events, evenings out, or everyday essentials, Luna is designed to transition seamlessly from daytime charm to nighttime sophistication.
Whether this is your first structured handbag or you're ready to level up your bagmaking skills, Luna walks you through the process in a calm, approachable way so everything makes sense as you sew.

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.

Just one piece, the front panel template. Everything else is measure and cut.
Two styles in one pattern: a mini handbag (9" × 4" × 1.25") and a wristlet clutch (9" × 5.5" × 1.25").
Confident Beginner. It's a great next step after a zipper pouch or two.
You make your own straps, and the pattern shows you how.
Yes! Cotton, cork or faux leather all work, and I share the interfacing combos for each.
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.
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!

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!
Haven’t made it yet but definitely looking forward to doing that
Love love love I am very new at sewing and Amanda’s patterns are extremely beginner friendly with a professional end result.
Well thought out pattern and I’m ready to start the new Mae bag!!!
Easy to understand
complete and thorough
The instructions are super easy to follow! This was my first bag and I think I knocked it out of the park!
