Here is an easy to sew shoulder bag with an
inner pocket with or without a zipper. The bag can be made in your choice
of fabric with matching or contrast fold-over trim. Wear it over your
shoulder; the purse section tucks neatly under your arm.
Enlarge the pattern to the size you
require.
Place on folded fabric and cut four pieces.
Cut two pocket pieces from fabric or lining.
Mark the position for the pocket on one
piece.
Apply the zipper using exposed application
(zipper is exposed)
Attach the top of the pockets to zipper tape, then sew together.
Sew each of the two main pieces at the
shoulder seam and press the seams open.
With wrong sides together, sew 1/4" from edge of inner curve
(armhole).
Position the trim over the armhole edge curve and sew.
Overlap the front and back section to
form the bag.
Baste the outer edge to prevent shifting.
