Velma Bag



Pattern: Amy Butler's Velma Handbag

Wow! This was such an EASY bag to make! My sister requested this specific bag, picked out & ordered the fabric herself. It's a fairly small bag: 10.5" W x 6" T (9.5" T with the handle), approximately 3" D. My sister found a cool pin (not pictured) to add to the flap.

Modifications made:

1. Interfaced all bag pieces with Decor Bond, including the lining & pocket pieces, instead of using canvas.
2. Used a magnetic snap instead of velcro.


I'm really pleased with how this turned out. The instructions are VERY thorough (more thorough than your average pattern), but I like to have a lot of info. It was super-easy to make and was fairly quick since it's so small. My sister is very happy with her new bag!
