purse
My all time favorite bag is black UltraLeather with a Crystal Zipper and leftover Escada turtle silk lining. Sound expensive? Not at all. These were scraps I had leftover from other projects. By quilting the lining, I hid seams of pieced together silk.		 Count the squares at left per pattern piece. This equates to the size of the purse. You may modify as you see fits. This bag side is 16" wide.
You'll need 1/2 yard fashion fabric (45"), 3/4 yard heavy interfacing (20"), 1/2 yard lining (45"), 1 1/4 yard light interfacing (20"), 1/4 yard fleece, fusible release sheet will be needed
