This bag is the perfect size for your everyday purse. It features credit card sized pockets easily accessible on the front of the bag, and a few pockets inside the bag, and an adjustable strap. This pattern is made with cork, which is an easy material to work with; along with cotton fabric for the lining. The top and front flap have magnetic snap closures. (it is possible to put a recessed zipper for the closure at the top of the bag…Please let me or QUILT WITH PASSION know if you want this option).
Items needed for class:
FABRIC:
18” x 27” cork for color 1
9” x 27” cork for color 2
(or you can make the bag with a single color/pattern )
⅔ yard of cotton (lining of bag)
⅓ yard of medium weight Fusible interfacing
NOTIONS:
(2) 8” or longer zippers (will be seen on the outside of the bag)
(1) 7” or longer zipper for zippered pocket under front flap
*Zipper tape can be used for the above zippers
(1) 1 inch slide set ( 1 slide and 1 rectangle ring)
(2) Magnetic closures ( for flap and top of bag, I suggest ½ or ¾” size)
Suggested: 1/4" wide not fusible double sided tape for zippered pocket and credit card pockets (this will make positioning of zippers and credit card pockets much easier).
Thread (there is a lot of top stitching, so a matching 7/or contrasting thread should be chosen).
Clips (work better than pins), rotary cutter or scissors, ruler (12” long will work well), pencil or marking pen/marker, seam ripper, sewing machine with power cord and foot pedal, machine needle that will go through a few thick layers of fabric.
*** All items may be purchased at QUILT WITH PASSION***
Prior to class please have all pieces cut and labeled.
Notes about the patten/cutting:
Prior to cutting, you will need to decide where you want your contrasting cork fabric to be.
