What you will need:

Outer fabric – A fat quarter of quilting cotton – or mix and match two contrasting fabrics.

Medium fusible interfacing – I use Vilene F220 or Pellon SF101.

Fusible fleece – light weight fusible fleece works well just to add a little body.

Seam allowance is 1cm (3/8”) throughout unless otherwise stated.

The seam allowance is included in the pattern pieces.

Level: Easy – beginner friendly

Approximate finished dimensions: 15.75 x 11cm (6 ¼ x 4 ¼ “)

Cutting Guide:-  Print the pattern pages you require on US letter-sized paper or A4.

IMPORTANT – ensure page scaling is set to NONE or ACTUAL SIZE and ‘SHRINK TO FIT’ or ‘FIT TO PAGE’ are turned off

There is a 1” square control box shown on the pattern, ensure it measures correctly before you start cutting. Cut out all paper pattern pieces as follows.

Tips to achieving a nice neat purse:

• Trim your fleece down by 1cm (3/8″) all the way around so it isn’t adding bulk to your seams. If you are using a heavier fabric you can cut a little more from the bottom straight edge of the fleece
• Use lightweight fabric only for the closure strap
• Clip your bottom corners well before turning through

You can also make a men’s version – here’s one I made in coated ripstop, I didn’t add the fleece in this one.
