| Just added! Zippered wristlet
tutorial in PDF format. |
- Fold placemat in half with the right sides together.
- Stitch 1/2" from the edges on both sides of your bag.
Backstitch at the top and the bottom to increase the durability
- these are the areas that get a lot of wear and tear.
- Make the bottom of your purse by pressing the seam down
on the corner that you just sewed, forming a triangle. Sew across
this triangle of fabric about 2" from the point.
- Turn the bag right side out. For handles, you can use
the purchased kind and simply follow the instructions enclosed
with the handles. You can also purchase belting in a matching
color and sew 2 pieces on, matching length and making sure to
center the handles appropriately.
- Want to add more of your own personality? Sew on old
buttons, beads, or even pin your grandmother's brooch on the front
of your new bag!
