Tutorial: Tiny duffel purse

Are you in need of a new purse that is both stylish and practical? If so, you’ll love this tutorial from Erin at Sew, Mama, Sew on how to make a small-scale duffel that can be carried as a purse. This cute and versatile bag is perfect for everyday use, and it features a pocket that is the perfect size for your cell phone.

One of the best things about this duffel purse is that it can be made from a variety of fabrics, depending on your personal style and preference. For a more utilitarian look, you could opt for a durable canvas material, similar to what you would find on a larger-scale utility duffel. Or, if you’re in the mood for something a little more girly and fancy, you could choose a fabric like brocade to add a touch of glamour to your bag.

Erin’s tutorial is easy to follow and includes step-by-step instructions, as well as helpful tips and tricks to make the process of sewing your own duffel purse a breeze. Whether you’re a seasoned seamstress or just starting out, you’ll find this tutorial to be a helpful and enjoyable guide to creating your own small-scale duffel purse. So why wait? Get started on this fun and practical project today, and enjoy the satisfaction of carrying a purse that you made with your own two hands.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
