This purse is small enough that I am able to fit the full sized pattern pieces onto a file that you can print at home. What you will receive is 2 Adobe Acrobat PDF files as attachments to an email. One file is the pattern and the other is the instructions.
Details of the bag:
Uses a 4" by 2" metal purse frame - NOT INCLUDED
By ordering the PDF pattern, you can have these sewn and ready for the frames to arrive.
If you don't already have this frame, I got mine on ebay from a seller in Hong Kong. You can readily find them there.
Here is what is special and different about this pattern:
**The finished bag has a perfectly flat bottom that measures approximately 5.5" wide by 2" deep.
**This pattern features a front exterior pocket with a snap closure that is perfect for folding money, credit cards, or gift card.
**The other wonderful thing about this pattern is that the lining has no bottom seam, making for a very strong bag that can hold a weeks worth of parking meter change. (Parking meters in Spokane are not as expensive as Seattle or San Francisco, so "mileage" of change will vary.)
If you are looking for a cute bag to make for gifts this Valentine's, try this. I think it will be a big hit! Wouldn't it be great filled with cosmetic samples, lip tints or nail polishes? How about full of change for the friend who always gets parking tickets? Gift cards are nice too, tucked into the front pocket.
My instructions include extensive notes for making the bag in a variety of fabric types.
You should receive the email within 24 hours of your order, allowing for time zone differences and reasonable working hours.
Thanks for shopping with me. I look forward to helping you make some beautiful things.
Cherie
