This pattern gives you complete designer license to create the most extravagant of handbags. The three versions offered are only the beginning of many possibilities. You can use Clover purse handles and snaps.

Clarification to some early printings of this pattern: In supply list, when it says 1/3 yd main fabric, it means 1/3 yd of canvas as a stabilizer for the main panel and sides on which you add your print fabrics.

Update about handles: Clover has just recently come out with some purse handles that come apart so you don’t have to have the handles in the arrangement as you put it through the sewing machine. These are great!
