This bag is the perfect size for your everyday purse. It features credit card sized pockets easily accessible on the front of the bag, and a few pockets inside the bag, and an adjustable strap. This pattern is made with cork, which is an easy material to work with; along with cotton fabric for the lining. The top and front flap have magnetic snap closures. (it is possible to put a recessed zipper for the closure at the top of the bag…Please let me or QUILT WITH PASSION know if you want this option).

Items needed for class:
FABRIC:

• 18” x 27” cork for color 1
• 9” x 27” cork for color 2
• (or you can make the bag with a single color/pattern )
• ⅔ yard of cotton (lining of bag)
• ⅓ yard of medium weight Fusible interfacing

NOTIONS:

• (2) 8” or longer zippers (will be seen on the outside of the bag)
• (1) 7” or longer zipper for zippered pocket under front flap *Zipper tape can be used for the above zippers
• (1) 1 inch slide set ( 1 slide and 1 rectangle ring)
• (2) Magnetic closures ( for flap and top of bag, I suggest ½ or ¾” size)
• Suggested: 1/4" wide not fusible double sided tape for zippered pocket and credit card pockets (this will make positioning of zippers and credit card pockets much easier).
• Thread (there is a lot of top stitching, so a matching 7/or contrasting thread should be chosen).
• Clips (work better than pins), rotary cutter or scissors, ruler (12” long will work well), pencil or marking pen/marker, seam ripper, sewing machine with power cord and foot pedal, machine needle that will go through a few thick layers of fabric.

*** All items may be purchased at QUILT WITH PASSION***

Prior to class please have all pieces cut and labeled.

Notes about the patten/cutting:

Prior to cutting, you will need to decide where you want your contrasting cork fabric to be.
Option 1: outside is all one color, and the built in wallet is color 2
Option 2: the top of the bag and strap are the coordinating color

*There are 3 cork pattern pieces that are to be cut 26” long ( (1) 3” wide (2) 2” wide). I was able to cut a 26’ piece from the SallieTomato 18 x 25” pieces that I had purchased. If you are unable to cut 26”, cut the longest pieces that you can at the correct width and we can add a piece to make the 26” requested (bring your leftover pieces to class and we will adjust as needed).

*When cutting the lining fabric, cut the 3” x 26” piece first. (that way you will have enough fabric width/length to cut the 26”).

When cutting pieces from the cork, there is a suggested layout, this can also be used for directional fabric.

Enjoy your new bag!
