The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.

Place the right sides together of the outer and lining of the front pocket. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″, leaving an entrance.

Place the 1⅝″ fabric on top edge of the pocket panel. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″. Fold over the fabric. Stitch from the right side seam into seam, or sew manually from the backside.

Place the front pocket on the right side of the main fabric and sew.

Place the bottom fabric on the right side of the front main fabric and sew 3 lower sides.

Place the back main fabric and sew 3 other sides.

Sew both sides of the front and the back panel.

Use the same process to sew the linings. But make an opening on the lining.

Place and pin the outer layer of the bag over the top of the lining with the right sides together. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.

Turn out our bucket bag through the hole that we left not stitched. After this, sew up this hole.

Put the lining inside the outer layer and topstitch the entrance of the bag.

Attach the purse strap.

YOU ARE FINISHED!

Happy sewing!
