Recently, I decided to sew a pretty Teddy lady :) And a handbag with a clasp had to complete her image. I want to share the tutorial on making the bag with you :)

You need:

• clasp (I used the smallest, 6 cm)
• velvet
• fabric for lining (gabardine)
• canvas (of any colour)
• Iris floss
• ordinary thread
• needle
• scissors
• wooden stick
• crochet hook
• a pen or pencil
• pins
• pattern
• embroidery scheme
  

The pattern and the embroidery scheme:

Print in the desired size and cut out.

Transfer it to lining and velvet:

Cut out with sharp scissors with allowances:

Sew the canvas manually to the backside of velvet:

Embroider:

Here's how the right side of the handbag looks :)

The auntie will be happy :)

Sew the details in pairs at the bottom line of the cut. You get two pockets.

And sew them together at the upper line of the cut. Leave a hole for turning outside in:

Use the wooden stick for turning. Here's what you get :)

Pull the lining inside the purse.

Sew the clasp with floss. Pick a bead every time you pass and bring the needle back. Will look very neat :) To make a handle for the handbag, crochet a cord out of chains and sew to the purse.

That's what comes out at the end! Thank you for your attention!
