I use these small purses all the time. Plenty big for the essentials: money, cards, mobile-phone, keys and lipstick. Since it always hangs over my neck and shoulder, I don\u00b4t have to think about carrying it and leaving it, it\u00b4s just there.<\/p>\n
So here is an easy how-to on how to make them.<\/p>\n
First you need three pieces of fabric:<\/p>\n
15\u00d719 cm, 15\u00d720 cm and 15x 21 cm<\/p>\n
one 15 cm zipper<\/p>\n
ca 2 meters of bias-tape (I use the glossy polyester one)<\/p>\n
some fun fabric for the front (this is where you can be creative!)<\/p>\n
a sewing machine with thread, but that goes without saying ![\":-)\"](\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/simple-smile-98.png\")

<\/a>Sew the zipper on the fabric between the 15\u00d719 and the 15\u00d721 cm pieces. If you iron down a little fold of max 1 cm, it makes it a lot easier to sew the zipper on.<\/p>\n Fold the pieces, so they are about the same length, like on the picture.<\/p>\n Enjoy creating the front. This time, I chose to use some ribbons I got at Britex Fabrics<\/a> in San Francisco (my definite favorite fabric shop in the States) Here I\u00b4m using the embroidery-foot on the more bulky ribbons. Add a folded bias-tape at the top, to secure the edge.<\/p>\n Zig-zag together with the two other layers. Keep the zipper at the back. It will be easier to access that way.<\/p>\n Sew another folded bias-tape at the bottom. And then start at the bottom of one side, continue o after you reach the top, and sew for 110 cm before you put the other side of the purse inside the fold gain. And sew down. Secure. And you\u00b4re done!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_0944.jpg\" "\\"IMG_0944\\"")
