  Step 1

  I bought a rigid box (similar lunch box) with handle and opening clip.

  Dimension:
  - BASE : 25.4 CM
  - HEIGHT : 19.7 CM
  - DEPTH : 10 CM

• 

  Step 2

  I made some paper-models on the inside of the purse.
  I got the gray fabric (plaid) and I cut following paper-models (remember to add about 2 cm at the edges).

  I added a pocket inside the dimensions are 3 CM X 1.5 CM (1.5 cm folded 'cause I insert the elastic in the upper border of the pocket)

• 

  Step 3

  I made two triangles to sticking to the sides of my lining grey fabric that proves the opening of 7 cm (in the middle).

  The measures of my triangle is
  BASE: 13 CM
  CENTER: 7 CM
  up to zero (LIKE A PIZZA'S SLICE)

  I sewed my triangles and I glued with fabric glue the inside fabric (LEAVE ABOUT 1.5 CM ON THE HIGH SIDES - NO GLUE)

• Step 4

  I made other paper-models for the exterior of the handbag and following these I cut, first a thin foam rubber and then my outer fabric (leaving 2 cm from the edges).

  ALL SIDES

• Step 5

  I stitched along the folds of the bag on the 2 cm border that I left previously of all sides.

• 

  Step 6

  On the curves of the handbag remember to bend the longer side under the shorter; And sewn above the folded rectangles to hide the joints.

  I sewed the pieces of leather around the handle and around the opening clips.

  And this is the result

  Step 7

  SHOULDER
  I cut 2 strips about 3 CM X 126 CM
  I folded inward 1 cm each side and I sewed all.
  I added a small leather buckle and I secured it to the bag with a little square leather sewed.

• 

  Step 8

  NOW
  GLUE ALL on the rigid handbag!

  ..be careful..

  All the edges will "disappear" under the internal fabric (see pt.3)

• 

  Step 9

  Finally I added a ribbon / cockade that I made with this instruction (http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/rosette_ribbon_brooches)

  FINISH!
