2. Let's make a pattern, as shown in the picture above. If desired, you can change something or add one more partition.
3. We take the main fabric and cut all the details. Add a centimeter and a half on each side.
4. Now we cut out the details, only without the allowance from the lining and doublerine (the glutinous fabric is dense). We paste a doublet on the main fabric.
5. We sew the top and the lining, leaving a small hole so that it can be turned out. We turn the parts onto the outer part, sew the hole with a hidden seam . We smooth iron with a good iron. The machine was detached along the edge, retreating approximately 2 mm.
6. A small valve (partition) is applied to the main one, we cover all this with a lining and we spread it, leaving the side part untouched.
7. We turn the whole thing out. Sew the hole and iron with an iron. We spend the edges. Apply the pattern, transferring all the marks to the fabric.
8. We combine the marks on the main part and the middle part and fix them. The easiest way to do this is with the clothespins, since it is not very convenient to pierce evenly with pins such thick material.
9. Sew on the marked line.
10. We raise the sidewalls on one side, pin them to the middle. So on the other hand.
11. We place buttons, it is convenient to use magnets.

That's all. Now you know how to sew a purse easily and quickly. You can use other patterns, then the model will be different.
