If you’re new to bag making, you might not be sure how to make one with a squared-off bottom. When I made my very first bags, they’d either be totally flat or I’d use separate panels for the sides and bottom. This way is easier and cleaner looking.
This cute handbag has a strap that’s actually just two separate straps tied together at the top. It’s also fully reversible. No matter which way you have it, it will have a pocket inside and a pocket outside. The tab snap works from either direction. It’s an easy bag to make, so give it a try!
Making your own fabric bags means you’ll always have unique accessories. I have lots of them, and I get compliments all the time. They really stand out. This bag is pleated and nice and roomy as a purse. I have made this style in both a smaller and larger size, but neither ever seemed just right. This one I made somewhere in between. It holds all of my day-to-day purse stuff, with room to throw in a book or bottle of water, to boot. I took this out today and somebody complimented me on it and wanted one. See? That’s…
