I have put together a tutorial the best I could with my not so very nice drawings. Still, I hope it’ll be helpful, and if something is unclear, just let me know. I must also warn you that I’m not a very experienced sewer, so there might be better ways of putting it together. Right side is in white and wrong side is lined.






Cut out four pieces of two different kinds of fabric in wanted size and shape. Mine is about 30 cm wide on the widest part and 30 cm high, including sewing margins.

First sew all the edges with zig zag stiches so that it won’t fringe.



The next step is to sew in the top 7-8 cm. This is where the handles will go. Just fold the top edges in a cm or so, and sew on right side with regular stiches. Do this with all four pieces.



Now put the two matching pieces together with the right side turning inwards. Sew them together with regular stiches until the point where you made the top stiches. This way you will leave a hole for the handle. Do this with both matching pieces.



Put the now two parts together with the tops facing each other. Sew the top ends together on each side.

Now turn the handbag the right way, and put one piece inside the other. If you have done it correctly you’ll know see it being reversable.



Now you’re ready to put the handles om. Use two pieces of see through plastic tubes, both on about 50 cm. I put a curtain rope inside in a matching color, but you can use just about anything. I also experienced with using left over fabric so that it would match the hangbag completely. You can also use pearls, glitter, or anything you might have lying around.

Pull the pieces through the handle holes. I didn’t find a good way to fasten the ends together, but since it will be inside the bag it wont show. What I did was to make the ropes a little longer than the tubes. That way I could tie the ends together tightly. Afterwards I sewed some stiches by hand to secure it. If you find a better way to do this part let me know. To keep the shape of the handles the way I wanted it I also put inside some small knitting needles at the bottom of the handles. This way it won’t strech as much when you carry it with something inside it. The bags I saw at the store where I got the idea didn’t have this, so you don’t have to do something about it at all.
