These very easy instructions are great for those with basic to intermediate sewing skills. The most difficult part of the project is sewing around the curves of the flap - so if you feel confident you can do that, this project should work well for you! This pattern has an elegant curvy flap, a lovely and simple round flap, and a trendy square flap. The round and square flap patterns are perfect for beginners!

I've provided fifteen full-color photos to illustrate the simple step-by-step instructions. Because I sometimes have a hard time reading sewing patterns - even after sewing for more than a decade - I try to always use plain old everyday English when I write out my instructions. Plus, if you have any questions while sewing, I'm always available by email to help you.

This purse is what my daughter calls a "Fancy Lady" bag. And it's so easy to sew! An interior pocket keeps your cell phone, keys - whatever - easily accessible. A magnetic closure is a convenient way to keep contents secure, so professional looking, and it's so easy to put on your bag with my step-by-step instructions!

The purse measures approximately 12" wide at the opening x 15" wide at the bottom x 7" tall x 2" deep.
