Sometimes ago, I made a traveling bag for myself which I intends to use for my trip, after making this bag, it is my doings to always make a matching purse to the bags I make just like the designers bags out there, so I decided to make the purse today from the left over fabric to compliment the bag.

The purse is so simple, easy and very useful, it is made with just 2 pieces of fabric, interfacing and zipper, with these few steps, you will be able to make this.

Let me take you through the cutting and sewing process.

From the left over fabric of the bag I made, I measured and cut out 2 pieces of 12 x 9" with lining and interfacing while the interfacing was ironed to the fabric.

The lining was placed on the right side of the main fabric and sewn round, leaving an opening where it can be turned inside out.

It was turned inside out and I top stitched on the openings.

I cut out a zipper of 10" and sew the side I top stitched on the zipper after I had tape both ends of the zipper with pieces from the main fabric.

It was placed together with right side to right side and I marked 1" away from the edge at the down part and 5" upward.
