We Love the Graceful Shape!
This handbag is not only beautiful but also a lovely way to showcase a favorite combination of prints. The long shoulder strap allows it to be used as a crossbody bag or shorten the length if you prefer.
The bag’s contents are secured with a wide flap and a 30mm (1 ¼ ”) round metal twist/turn lock (or similar size) reinforced with a scrap of fusible fleece. Or use a large button or velcro to keep the flap closed.
Start with five coordinating fat quarters or use one beautiful fabric for the body and coordinating prints for the strap and lining. A medium-weight woven fusible interfacing (such as Pellon SF101) and a scrap of medium-weight sew-in interfacing (like Pellon 40) help the bag retain its shape.
Lmatsu reduced the size by 25% and used a button for closure.
Designed by Susan Dunlop from Susie D Designs, the completed bag is 10 1/4” x 13 3/8”.
