I decided to pay my friend a visit after service tomorrow and I thought of what to gift to her mother as well, thinking of what to make, I know she loves purse so much and I decided to make a hand crafted one for her, I believe gift like this will be appreciated and cherished well you are thinking about what to present to my friend, I have made something nice and of course hand crafted for her as well, you can go through my blog to check that out.

These items will be gifted to them tomorrow when I go pay them a visit and I'm sure they will like it so much.

let's get started with the cutting and sewing process.

I measured and cut out 10 x 10" of main fabric and matching color lining, then I ironed interfacing on the main fabric to make it firm.

For the flip cover, I cut out 9 x 4" on the main fabric and lining with interfacing on the main fabric as well

I folded the lining for the flip cover into two and make a curve on one edge of it.

It was placed on the main fabric right side to right side and sewn from one end to the other leaving the opposite side open.

It was placed on the right side of the tip of the main fabric for the pouch mid point to mid point before the lining was placed on it and sewn on both sides.

On the base, I folded up 1" and sew it down.

It was turned to the wrong side and I sew on both sides to cover the rough edges, with the base folded in as seen below.

Finally, I used hand needle and thread to attach a pressing button to the middle of the flip cover and on the other side to make it clip.
