In this video tutorial I will tell and show you how to make a purse with a flat lock. Sewing a purse is not more difficult than a regular cosmetic bag, and an unusual lock turns it into a practical, roomy purse with compartments for coins and credit cards.

Sewing a zipper, installation of the lock — all these moments are presented in the tutorial in details.

These locks come in different sizes, I will use a lock 19 cm long.

You will need:

• thick cotton for the outside of the purse;
• cotton for lining;
• interlining;
• surround interlining;
• dublerin;
• zipper;
• flat lock 19 cm.

Part 1

In this part you'll make a compartment for coins with zipper, side part, which allows the purse to open up and duplicate dublerin and woven external detail of the purse.

Sizes of details:

Main item is 19*21 cm. Cut out parts of this size from thick cotton, dublerin and bulky nonwoven fabric. Side valves are 8.5*15.5 cm. This size should be cut 2 parts of the lining fabric, 2 parts of thick cotton and 2 parts of non-woven.

Pocket for small things, size 15.5*17 cm. You need to cut 2 parts of it.

Trim for processing side seams, size 4*21 cm. You need 2 pieces.

Detail lining, size 19*56 cm. Cut out this detail of fabric for the lining and out fabric.

Part 2

In this part, you will form pockets for credit cards and collect all the details together. We will finally install a flat lock.
