This bag doesn't have an external zipper, no more "ears" on the sides, it has hidden magnetic closures and clasps together like magic. It looks more elegant and definitely can be used as a purse or handbag.
When the bag is open flat, the sides can be used as tray for small items, cosmetics, phone etc. Magnetic snaps are also functional as pin and needle holders. When snapped on the sides the bag has a sturdy box shape. It's perfect for crafts of all kinds and means you can take your craft items with you on the move.
In this tutorial I will explain how to make this smooth and flat closure panel on the top of the bag. I will also describe the new technique of inserting D-rings in the middle of binding so you can add a shoulder strap.
The good thing about this tutorial is - it can be used for making FOUR different bags, depending on the hardware you choose. You can choose to make it with long shoulder strap, decorative purse chain or decorative cord. One pattern - four looks!
