The Lisbon purse is the perfect size for all occasions. It can be made with or without the exterior flap. A recessed zipper keeps the contents of your purse secure. You may have a zippered interior pocket, a divided pocket, both, or neither. The finished size is approximately 10" wide and 7" tall. As a bonus, we have included a pattern for a lined, zippered bag. This is a fairly quick and easy project. Make several for yourself and some for gifts, too. Use woven fabric. An alternative construction method is offered if you are using ultra firm stabilizer.
