Inspired by the slouchy, high-end, trendy looking handbags you see all over your Instagram feed, but INTENDED to be so much more for your creative imagination! This bag features:
  • Option to use an internal purse frame called a flex frame as the closure OR a magnetic snap closure.
  • A roomy interior zipper pocket as well as a key fob clip
  • Measures approximately 14.5" wide at the top and 13" wide at the bottom, 10" tall and 8" deep
The bag also offers a large exterior area as a blank canvas for your imagination. You can make it uniquely yours (or your customer's) with a special applique or print, OR feel free to download the cut files for the moon phases or moon and star applique that I used as features on my test bags - they are free downloads in the digital pattern section of my shop!

Materials Needed:

  • Exterior Fabric - 1 ½ yards Vinyl or Leather or interfaced fabric of your choice
  • Interior Fabric - 1 yard Waterproof Canvas
  • If choosing the magnetic snap option, you’ll need two 1” X 10” strips of heavy stabilizer such as Decovil Heavy for the magnetic snap panels.
  • 10 inch or larger zipper (should be 10 inches from end to end)
  • One 1” swivel clip
  • One chunky purse chain about 24” (or your preference of length)
  • Two spring gate rings (if they do not already come with the purse chain you are using)
  • One 12 inch internal purse flex frame (if choosing to do the frame closure option)
  • One 18mm magnetic snap (if using the snap closure option)
  • Sewing machine (NOTE: This bag involves pleating and then sewing the pleated pieces - which means the layers are going to get fairly thick. I recommend a strong domestic or industrial machine, especially if you are choosing to use vinyl or leather).
  • Thread
  • Scissors
  • Wonder clips
  • Seam ripper
  • Leather tape (optional but helpful)
  • A pair of pliers if using the flex frame.
