    Project: Pick-a-Pocket Purse


    designer: Monica Solorio-Snow of happy zombie (TheHappyZombie.com)

    A simple bag cleverly incorporates six outer pockets for everyday necessities.
    The sew-simple trick is that the pockets are formed when the straps are sewn
    on the bag pieces.

    23 yard blue-and-green print
    (pockets)

    23 yard green print (bag/lining)


    210141412" rectangles thin,
    firm batting

    Finished Bag: 8104"


    Quantities are for 44/45"-wide,
    100% cotton fabrics.
    Measurements include 1 4" seam
    allowances. Sew with right sides
    together unless otherwise stated.

    Cut Fabrics

    Assemble Bag

    1. Fold and press one blue-

    and-green print 141 2161 2"


    rectangle in half lengthwise with
    wrong side inside to make an
    81 4141 2" pocket rectangle.
    Repeat with remaining blue-andgreen print rectangle to make a
    second pocket rectangle.
    2. Referring to Diagram 2, layer

    a green print 141 2201 2"


    lining rectangle and a pocket
    rectangle, right sides together.
    Place a 101 4141 2" batting
    rectangle under the layered
    pieces; pin all layers together.

    7. To shape flat bottom for bag, at

    one corner match bottom seam


    line to side seam line, creating a
    flattened triangle (Diagram4).
    Measuring 2" from point of
    triangle, draw a 4"-long line
    across triangle. Sew on drawn
    line. Trim excess fabric. Repeat
    with remaining bottom corner of
    bag, and both corners of green
    print lining.
    8. Turn bag to right side and finger-

    press seams. Slip-stitch lining


    opening closed. Insert lining into
    bag.

    Cut pieces in the following order.


    3. Referring to Diagram 2, pin

    From blue print, cut:


    243412" strips
    From blue-and-green print, cut:
    214121612" rectangles
    From green print, cut:
    214122012" rectangles

    Assemble Straps

    1. Fold and press a blue print

    4341 2" strip in half lengthwise


    with wrong side inside
    (Diagram 1).
    2. Open and press long edges to

    center. Refold in half and press.


    Topstitch 1 8" from outer edges
    to make a strap (Diagram 1).
    3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make a

    second strap.

    a strap to the bottom edge


    of layered pieces, leaving 4"
    between strap sides.
    4. Place a pin on each side of

    strap 101 4" from bottom edge.


    Beginning at bottom edge
    of layered pieces, topstitch
    one side of strap up to the pin
    marking 101 4"; remove pin, sew
    across strap, and topstitch back
    down to bottom edge. Repeat
    with remaining side of strap to
    complete one bag unit.
    5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to

    make a second bag unit.


    6. Layer bag units right sides

    together; pin. Pin loose portion


    of straps in place to prevent
    catching them in stitching. Join
    units around all edges, leaving
    a 5" opening at top center for
    turning (Diagram 3). Press
    seams open.
