Fabric Recommendations

Select materials with good body and structure to maintain the bag's shape and aesthetic:

Natural leather
Artificial leather (e.g., faux leather, pleather)

Additional Supplies

Lining fabric
1 snap (e.g., magnetic snap or sew-on snap)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1cm. Attention! First of all, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:
- Main – 1 piece
- Fastener facing – 1 piece
- Side – 2 pieces
- Facing – 2 pieces
From lining fabric:
- Lining for main – 1 piece
- Lining for side – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Place the main and the fastener facing right sides together and stitch strictly up to the seam allowance of the lower edge of the facing.
Stitch the side parts into the bag, ending the seam at the same point as the stitching of the main.
Stitch the side parts of the lining and the main lining, clipping the seam allowances at the corners.
Stitch the side edges of the facings into a loop.
Place the lining and facing right sides together and stitch, leaving an opening for turning.
Place the facing with lining and the bag right sides facing inwards and stitch along the upper edge. The first seam – along the lower edge of the fastener facing (with the bag flap turned to the wrong side), and the second along the upper edge of the bag.
Turn the bag right side out. Stitch the opening closed. Attach the snap fastener.
