Quilted Front Flap Purse FREE Sewing Pattern and Tutorial
This satchel style bag has a curving side gusset that adds structure and creates a sleek profile. All the fabrics used were standard cotton lawn weight, but with the addition of fusible fleece, foam, and standard interfacing, there’s enough body for the purse to hold its shape as well as provide the firmness to carry-off the heavier metal locks.
What you'll need:
- Sewing Machine and standard presser foot
- Zipper foot
- Janome Edge Guide foot; optional but great for topstitching and edge stitching
- ONE Dritz® decorative lock
