Description Finally done! This is my first try at making a tutorial. So please let me know how I did and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I will try and answer them as best as I can. I will not teach you how to sew though. It does require that you know your way around a sewing machine. You could do this all by hand but it would be very tedious and not turn out as nice looking. Yes I know, It is only part 1. I will work on the wallet part in the next few days. (Ah yes... there are quite a few spelling mistakes. Sorry about that. I was making this at 1 in the morning. I will try and get it fixed at some point soon.)

Please: Fav if you download/save this tutorial. Link if you use this tutorial. Don't sell any products made by this tutorial.
Thank you.

Dimensions for designs:
All measurements are average, give or take a couple of centimeters.

Purse:
2x side panel A: 8 1/2" by 6 1/4"
1 bottom panel: 8 1/2" by 2 1/4"
2x side panel B: 2 1/4" by 6 1/4"
1 Strap (26"-any size)

Wallet:
main body: 14 1/2" by 6 3/4"
ID card holder: 4" by a little over 2 1/2"

I find the easiest thing to use to draw on the stabilizer is a pencil. It doesn't harm it and if you make a mistake you can just draw the line again. Use a straight edge or spend the time and make the patterns out of thick paper or cardboard (This is a good idea if you plan on making/trying this a few times).

Cut along every line except two that you will make on the wallet that only serve as fold/guide lines. These lines are 3" in on one side and 3 1/2" on the other. (Shown in pictures) Another thing, when cutting the Side Panel B for your purse, please note that they are not straight. Start with it being straight and draw in new lines that bevel in on both sides. This will give your purse a more A like shape when you put it together. There is a close up photo of this.
