This magic bag with a flap is a part of the family of “Clutch” bags, created by a young Italian stylist.
Technique and Sizes :
In order to make this bag, you will need about 13 metres of Zip #5. More precisely :
The capacity : 8 metres
The handle : 1,20 metres
The flap : 3,55 metres
Type of Bottom : No Base
Height : 27 cm
Width : 32 cm
Handle : 1 Size : 120 cm
“Blue Jean” Buttons : 5
Sliders : 2
Concerning the flap :
The flap is made in a second time, once your bag is made.
Cut 9 strips of zip #5 (30 centimetres each). Then stitch them together.
You will then obtain a rectangle (Width 30 centimetres x Height 24 centimetres)
In order to hide the potential irregular outlines of your rectangle, take half of a strip of zip (about 85 cms) and stitch it around your rectangle.
You now just have to position your flap on your bag and to stitch it.
Small trick of finishing : rather than to stitch your flap on the bag, “unstitch” your bag to introduce the flap before stitching it.
