Materials:

1/2 yard white muslin
1/2 yard lining fabric
1/2 yard heavyweight fusible interfacing
1/4 yard fabric (or less) for handles
8 - 3/8 yard fabrics for ruffles
Extra wide double fold bias tape (or make your own using a 1 in. bias tape making tool)
About 40 plastic pony beads in a color that won’t show through your handle fabric
Buttons and ric-rac for embellishing
Thread to match bias tape and handle fabrics

Cut:

1. Cut two sides and one bottom from both the interfacing and the lining fabric.
2. Iron the interfacing sides to the muslin and cut out.
3. Iron the interfacing bottom to the wrong side of the lining fabric and cut out. (This bottom will get sewn to the muslin sides. We’re using a prettier fabric for the bottom because it will show when the bag is lifted or worn.)
