tall × 10.2–17 in wide × 4.5 in deep\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24 × 26–43 × 11.5 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.7–8.7 in \/ 17–22 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the width range from 10.2 to 17 inches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVivian has a compact structured lower body and an extended upper silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe width therefore varies across the shape of the handbag, from approximately \u003cstrong\u003e10.2 in \/ 26 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e at its narrower section to approximately \u003cstrong\u003e17 in \/ 43 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e across its widest upper profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow large is the inner

lining?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main exterior body is designed to be lined with approximately \u003cstrong\u003e2.5 oz \/ 1 mm leather\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographed example uses a contrasting red leather interior against the dark green exterior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat leather thickness should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the main exterior body, use approximately \u003cstrong\u003e4 oz \/ 1.6 mm leather\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the lining, use approximately \u003cstrong\u003e2.5 oz \/ 1 mm leather\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main handle construction uses approximately \u003cstrong\u003e4 oz \/ 1.6 mm leather\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrasting handle details use approximately \u003cstrong\u003e5.5 oz \/ 2.2 mm leather\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much leather will I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan on approximately \u003cstrong\u003e7 sq ft \/ 0.6 m²\u003c\/strong\u003e of leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActual consumption may vary according to hide shape, defects, cutting layout, leather direction and whether you make test pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside the handles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVivian uses \u003cstrong\u003e5 mm \/ 0.2 in diameter cord\u003c\/strong\u003e as the core of the rounded leather handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will need two lengths of cord approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1 meter \/ 39.4 in each\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat hardware does the pattern use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will need:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × neodymium magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × 1 meter \/ 39.4 in lengths of 5 mm \/ 0.2 in cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the handbag close?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flap is secured using \u003cstrong\u003etwo concealed neodymium magnets\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis provides a clean closure without visible buckles or other bulky exterior hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size hole punch should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003e1\/16 in \/ 1.5 mm hole punch\u003c\/strong\u003e is recommended for the construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Vivian suitable for beginners?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA confident leatherworker with previous hand-stitching experience can make Vivian, but familiarity with three-dimensional bag construction will make the project easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full leather lining, interior sleeve, tubular cord-supported handles and layered assembly make this a more involved project than a simple flat leather bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most makers, we would classify Vivian as an \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate leathercraft project\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use different colors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographed Vivian uses a dark green exterior with red lining, details and stitching, but the pattern can be made in any leather and color combination you prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrasting exterior and interior colors work especially well with this design, but a monochrome version can create a completely different appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I resize the pattern?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is designed around the stated finished dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScaling changes stitching-hole positions, lining dimensions, magnet locations, handle dimensions, cord relationships and the proportions between the different components of the handbag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend using the original size unless you are comfortable modifying leather patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I make and sell finished handbags made from this pattern?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease refer to the licensing and usage terms supplied with your pattern purchase for information regarding commercial

for a more understated handbag, or choose your own contrasting colors to completely change the character of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose your leather, lining, thread, edge treatment and handle details and make Vivian entirely your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the included \u003cstrong\u003estep-by-step video tutorial\u003c\/strong\u003e alongside the PDF or DXF
