Mini series: new bag pattern #3 - The rose petal bag

I already posted about this bag before (read all about it here), so here's the post about the acutal pattern! I am really excited about this one! I think it is an adorable bag and the pictures of all my testers confirm it :)
This is my new bag pattern #3, now available for instant download in my pattern store:
The Rose Petal Bag!

If you are looking for a casual yet sophisticated design, a bag that you can carry everyday but that is also posh enough to be used as an evening bag when going out, then this is the bag for you! The flap has an asymmetric shape with a beautiful fabric rose attached. The strap is wider at the top and tapers towards the ends, which are connected to the bag with rectangular rings. There is a zippered pocket as well as a slip pocket on the inside, to keep your things organized.

The pdf pattern includes 11 pages of sewing instructions with 27 pictures and 4 pattern pieces.
The finished size of this bag is 17 x 27 x 5 cm / 6.75 x 10.5 x 2 in (height x width x depth)

Supplies needed:
- Exterior fabric: ½ m or ½ yd
- Lining fabric: ½ m or ½ yd
- Fusible fleece e.g. Pellon 987F (114 cm/45” wide): ¼ m or ¼ yd
   or heavy stabilizer, e. g. Pellon Peltex #71F (55 cm/22” wide): ½ m or ½ yd
- Fusible interfacing, e. g. Pellon 931 TD (55 cm/22” wide): ¾ m or ¾ yd
