Park West Bag by Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness

Description

Park West Bag Pattern. This large bag is great for holding a lot of stuff! There are side pockets on the exterior of the bag, and a lining zippered pocket on the inside. With pretty handle detailing for your straps and a recessed zipper closure at the top of the bag, you will be stepping out in style!

Finished Size: 18” long x 13” tall

All cutting measurements given throughout the pattern are length x height.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
1 yard of fabric for the exterior
1 yard of fabric for the lining
3/4 yard of fabric for the accents/straps
2-1/2 yards of 20” wide Pellon® SF-101 Shape Flex® fusible woven interfacing (or light-weight fusible interfacing)
1/2 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)
2 pieces, each 16” x 5” 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)
10” zipper
14” zipper
Four 1-1/2” metal rectangle rings
Optional: 4 metal purse feet
