Purse Instructions © by Allison, 2007:
|
|
Firstly, here's a purse I bought at a thrift shop, someone made but never used.
|
|
I untied the handles and traced out a paper pattern to be cut on the fold,
adding a 1/2" seam allowance all the way around:
|
|
Using the pattern and cutting on the fold, cut 2 of your main outer fabric.
2 of your lining fabric,
and 2 fusible interfacing.
For my interfacing, I only cut rectangles,
though, so the handles won't be as stiff,
and easier to tie when we're all finished:
|
|
Fuse the interfacing to the wrong sides of your outer fabric.
|
|
Right sides together, pin and sew the two side seams on your main fabric.
|
|
Now press these seams open flat.
|
Next, turn either your main fabric or your lining fabric right side out and fit it inside the other.
We want the right sides facing.
|
|
Pin very well all along the top edge, including the long handles, and stitch.
Clip curves.
