DIY purse or little bag

We will be making a purse that can also be used by kids as a bag.

I cut my cloth from this old denim pant that was laying around too long it want to be used for something.

What we need are:

1) 2 pieces of cloth, size 8" x 10".

---

2) 1" brown ribbon, 1 yard long.

3) A zipper, 10" long

4) 2 pieces, round metal, half inch to 1" in diameter.

5) A salvage bag strap, check your nearest salvation army or ukay-ukay if you don't have one ready.

---

6) 2 pieces small strip of denim, size 1" x 3".

We are not ready to make the purse:

1) Fold small portion of the small strips (shown above) and run through the sewing machine. They will hold the round metals latter.

2) Fold twice one end of each of the cloth, if its hard to fold, iron it flat.

3) Sew the zippers through.

4) Align the zippers then put the zipper slide.

5) Reverse it to show the wrong side.

---

6) Put the small strips with the round metal between the zippers.

7) Prepare your ribbons, Fold it lengthwise then clip it on the sides of the cloth before you sew them all together.

8) Do the other side with the small strip and round metal.

9) Fold half inch inwards the both sides at the bottom. Get some clippers to help to held it in place.

10) Run the sewing machine with the ribbon holding the bottom of the cloth. The ribbon by the way will hold the end of the cloth so that it will not shred of loose.

11) Fold it inside out and we made this bottom of the purse.

12) Clip the straps to the round metals.
