Intro: Cylinder Bag

I made a simple and pretty little bag. I used a machine, but hand sewing is enough so let's take it step by step.

STEP 1: Design&Sketch

Imagine and sketch the final image.

STEP 2: Make a Pattern

When I cut a circle, I used a special tool. This is called the Circle Cutter.

STEP 3: Bond the Bottom

Provides full bonding to ensure floor strength

STEP 4: Sew the Bottom and the Sides of the Bottom

Sew the leather and the thin side strip

STEP 5: Combine Body Parts

Combine both sides with the inside facing outward.

STEP 6: Turn Over

Turn over inside out

STEP 7: Sew the Bottom and Body

Fold the top part and sew the bottom just in time.

STEP 8: Make a Lining

Use patterns to create lining

make a little smaller than leather

STEP 9: Make a Short Strap

Bond the whole thing and fold it

STEP 10: Make a Long Strap

Bond the whole thing and fold it and sew it.

STEP 11: Sew the Strap and Body

The tips join the body through hand sewing.

STEP 12: Combine Metal Ring and Strap

Sewing the ends only and joining the center with rivets.

I LOVE this bag and am going to try and make it for my SIL 50th Birthday !
just one question what size paper do you print it out on... my printer is set to standard A4.. but i would have to scale to 70% to get it to fit.. am i doing something wrong?

Looks great. And given how expensive purses are (I've bought my mom, sisters and wife plenty) it's even a good investment of your time. How many hours does making one take you? 2 or so?
