Description

I needed a substitute for a purse for those times when I only need to bring my essentials with me. So I made this. You want to make one too?

Instructions

  1. Small img 3123

    Cut out two rectangular pieces tracing a letter-sized paper.

  2. Small img 3127

    Place two dots 3" from each side and 3/4" from the top.

  3. Small img 3130

    Punch holes in placed you just marked using ...hole puncher.

  4. Small img 3139

    Fold the top seam so that the holes would be right on top and sew along that edge as shown in photo below.

  5. Small img 3140

    Insert the rope in one of the holes and push it through and out using something long like a knitting needle.

  6. Small img 3142

    Make a knot to secure its place. Repeat the process on the other side.

  7. Small img 3147

    Fold the two pieces right side in and sew along the edges.

  8. Small img 3149

    This step is optional but if you would like to give your pouch a bit of a dimensional shape, take the bottom two corners and sew across as shown in photo below.

    All done.
