About this pattern

This beautiful bag is the ideal accessory to finish off any outfit, and is big enough to fit everything in. It would also make a great project bag so you can take your sewing with you wherever you go. We’ve used the gorgeous Notting Hill range by Gütermann to create a vintage feel, finished perfectly with an antique-style purse clasp.

Essentials

  • Fabric: Gutermann, Notting Hill collection,
  • three prints, fat quarter of each; plain, white Wadding, lightweight
  • Purse frame, sew-in, antique brass
  • Purse chain, antique brass
  • Thread, sewing, strong

    Stich a bag

    1. Download the templates and print. Cut two bag pieces from printed fabric and two from wadding. Pin with wrong sides together. Quilt straight lines through both layers at a 45 angle with a 3cm gap between each one. Quilt in the opposite direction to form a square pattern.

    2. Cut two 16cm x 17.5cm rectangles from a second print and two from plain white material. Put in pairs, and sew each one right sides together around the edges, leaving a 5cm gap along the bottom edge. Clip the corners and turn out. Press and turn in the raw edges of the gap. Pin a pocket to the centre of each quilted bag piece and topstitch in place.
