Lisa, a smart shoulder bag (pdf)

 7,95

Lisa is a smart little shoulder bag that – with a different strap – can easily be turned in a handbag or underarm bag.

It uses a metal frame closure (7 1/2″-19cm) and can be made with the material you want. Cotton, upholstery, canvas, cork, thinner leather (less than 2 oz).

All the bags were made on domestic machines. No industrial machine was used to make this bag.

This bag can be made with quilting cotton (interfaced), upholstery fabric, thin leather (less then 2 oz), thin pleather and cork.

For the stabilizer in the bottom and the panels, I used cutting mat from the Dollar Tree™ (thin plastic).

You can use Decovil Heavy with great success. Peltex will be good as well if you happen to have that on hand. This is an ideal bag to use your scraps.

NO industrial machine was used to make this bag.
