The Madge Concealed Carry / Fold Over Bag

A PDF sewing pattern from American Stitchers to make this well-designed concealed carry handbag. The Madge bag has a fold over top that is fully accessible to the interior through a zippered flap. Underneath the zippered flap, there are credit card slots and cash pockets behind a spacious slip pocket. The concealed carry pocket is super easily accessible from the left or right side with 7” openings. If you don’t carry a firearm, use this hidden pocket to store cash, valuables, medications, etc. This sewing pattern is rated for an intermediate to advanced sewer and can be sewn with any woven fabric, vinyl, cork

, or pleather.  Like the bag in the sample photo?  It was sewn by Sweet Tea & Stitches.
