There are many times when a large bag is just too inconvenient to carry around. For example, when one goes to the movies, or as Miss Shannon says, when out clubbing (we have no clubs here in PV, AZ, heh heh...), or even just for a quick grocery store run. So I created this little thing after some research online from big time handbag designers. Here is a quick little version I whipped up in about an hour. It's my first tutorial so I hope it's simple and understandable.

You will need the following items: Sewing machine and sewing implements; 10 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches of both dark med wt. fabric (I used black duck) and liner fabric; 5 1/2 inches of non-sticky/ sewable velcro closure; approx 12 inches x 1 1/2 inches strips of exterior and liner fabric for strap; coordinating thread.
OPTIONAL: I used a red satin decorative strip on the outer fabric.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS FOR BAG ARE APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES x 4 INCHES; STRAP IS A 5 1/2INCH LOOP x 3/4 INCH WIDE. The fabric you cut includes seam allowances.

Make the strap (wrong sides together, stitch long sides about 1/4 from raw edge, turn out the right side, and press... You may stitch to reinforce the shape)
