How to sew a Tie Handle Bag by Debbie Shore

This is quite a soft, relaxed simple to make bag which is quite a large size! I’ve fastened with a flap and magnetic snap, and the tie strap can be adjusted to suit.
I’ve used Lady McElroy Amelia Malone-Watermelon Peachskin with plain black lining from www.debbieshore.... As the fabric is quite fine, I’ve interfaced it with Vlieseline G700.

44” x 18” [112cm x 46cm] Outer fabric
44” x 23” [112cm x 58cm] lining fabric
44” x 18” [112cm x 46cm] interfacing [optional]
2 D rings

2 pieces Outer fabric and 2 lining each measuring 16” x 13” [41cm x 33cm]

1 lining piece for the strap measuring 5” x 44” [13cm x 112cm]
