Petrillo Bag by Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness

Description

Petrillo Bag Pattern. This bag is the perfect complement to the busy woman-on-the go! The design features a pretty gathered flap and front straps. There is also an inner zippered pocket and a padded pocket with a flap, which would be perfect for toting your iPad or other electronic device! Also, complete the removable stiff false bottom for added stability!

Finished Size: 12” long x 15-1/2” tall

MATERIALS NEEDED:
3/4 yard of Exterior Fabric (or 1 yard if your fabric is directional)
1 yard of Lining Fabric
1/2 yard of fabric for straps and flap accent
1/4 yard of fabric for the flap
2-1/3 yards of Pellon® SF-101 Shape Flex® fusible woven interfacing
1 yard of By Annie’s Soft and Stable™, available at local quilt shops or on-line
(Soft and Stable is a 1/8” thick, foam sew-in interfacing; one of my testers also recommends automotive headliner fabric in place of the Soft and Stable; you can also substitute a needled fleece fusible interfacing for the Soft and Stable, such as Pellon #TP971F Thermolam Plus fusible interfacing)
9” zipper
Two pairs of sew-in invisible magnetic snaps (I used 18mm but a smaller size would be fine too)
2 pieces, each 10-1/4” x 4-1/4” to slip into the false bottom (you can use plastic quilter’s template, cardboard, or extra-heavy interfacing, such as Pellon Peltex; one of my testers used a plastic cutting board from the dollar store)
