Free On-Line Tutorials: DIMINUTO KEY PURSE - Page 1

< back to Free Bag Patterns page
keypursetut0

This tutorial is sized to make a little purse approximately 4½ inches tall by 3½ inches wide, but these can be made in almost any size or proportions. Make one to fit your phone, or as a pencil case!

I like to work with 100% cotton since it is easy to handle, forgiving and takes a crease well, but since you do not need to iron the main panel, you could use any fabric you like. Get your scrap box out and have a play.

Backing fabric: 1 piece; 7½ x 5½ inches
Wadding: 1 piece; 7½ x 5½ inches
Strips: 16 pieces(at least); 1 x 6 inches
Binding: 1 piece; 12 x 1½ inches
Nylon Zip: 1 off; at least 9 inches long
