Lining - 1/2 yd |
| Medium weight cotton
batting: crib size or 1/2 yd |
| Zipper: 9" (or longer) to
match outer bag |
| Glue stick or basting glue |
| Fabric marker or chalk |
| Zipper foot, (edge foot
helpful, not required) |
| Fabric choice: An
all-over non-directional print is easiest to work with. Do not use a
one-way directional print or the little motifs will be upside down on
one side of your purse. A two-way directional print is OK, but purchase
1 yard and see the note under cutting directions. |

Split
Purse-onality by Karen West |
| Materials: |
| 42" Fabric: 1/2 yard each of
2 fabrics that coordinate nicely |
| Cotton batting: Craft size
or a 15' x 25" piece |
| Thread to match both fabrics |
| Buttons: 2 (3/4"-1") |
| Note: If fabrics are
directional, the design should run parallel to the selvage. Avoid
fabrics with the design oriented toward the selvage, except for possible
a stripe, which would go around the bag versus up/down. |
