Cork Evening Bag

Starting with a bit of cork fabric and an amazing pattern, I had a great time making this little evening bag for my sister for Christmas.

Some lining fabric, zips, a bit of bag hardware and I was off on a fun sewing adventure.


 A little zippy pocket for hiding things in.....  I had purchased some zips from a Japanese stall at a craft exhibition which had gorgeous little zipper pulls on them, adding to the sense of luxury in this bag.

Spots for credit and public transport cards....   and, because the main zipper extends past the end of the bag, you can open it right up to see what's inside.


An inner pocket.....   perfect for lipstick and tissues. 


And then the bag outer.  I used a very, very dark navy, which seems to be a bit blown out by the flash.

Yes, I will make this bag again.  I already have more cork fabric and hardware sets, ready to go.


Pattern used:   Trio Pocket Purse by Pattern Poole (Monica Poole).  See here
