Loading... Please wait...Fabulously simple bag inspired by a great Patricia Field style, & featured in every fashionista’s favorite movie, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.
Make it from distressed PVC, with antique style studding & detachable tassel as shown here, or try it in a faux suede or even a sturdy felt.
Lined bag features internal zippered pocket & cell phone pocket.
Laying Flat the bag measures 12" wide by 20" tall by .5" deep.
Try this sharp bag as an easy-tomake gift or a treat for yourself... it’s the perfect showcase for your favorite patchwork, or a big funky appliqued,
beaded or embroidered motif.
You need around 1/2 yard/45 cm of 60"/150cm wide fabric & lining. Fusible interfacing is optional.
Unless you are already using a non-fraying fabric like felt or real/faux suede/leather, you will need an extra 1/4 yard of this for the strap, loops & tassle trim. Don’t forget 1 x 12" / 30cm zipper, 1 x 1/2" / 1 cm 'O' ring, 2 x 1/2" / 1 cm 'D' rings, & 2 x 'G' ring clamps, and a 4" / 10cm length of fine chain.

All in all, I love this pattern! There are a few places where I had to figure it out for myself because the instructions weren't clear, like how far to sew up the rounded side of the purse, how to use the patterned binding, things I'm sure the practiced seamstress knows, but I have gotten past it and am on my 5th purse! I am having no problems selling these, they're great!
