It’s quick, practical, and looks store-bought.

The finished measurements of this bag are approximately
20㎝(8″) W × 10㎝(4″) H × 6㎝(2⅜″) D.

◆ Main Panel

① 42㎝ × 60㎝ (16⅝″ × 23¾″) Outer layer

① 42㎝ × 60㎝ (16⅝″ × 23¾″) Lining

◆ D-ring fabric

② 3㎝ × 5㎝ (1¼″ × 2″) Outer layer

◆ Others

② Magnetic Buttons

① Purses Strap

Attach two sets of magnetic buttons to the outer layer.

(The video shows the button placement in detail.)

Next, place the right sides together of the outer and lining and sew all the edges, leaving an opening.

Turn it right side out by pulling the fabric through the opening.

Press around all the edges.

Fold long edges in toward the middle and press.

Fold 24㎝(9½″) and place D-rings on both sides.

Sew a diagonal line from 10㎝(4″) above to the center of the fold line.

Unfold the folded section to both sides.

Sew a diagonal line starting 3㎝(1¼″) from the fold line and extending 10㎝(4″) upward.

Unfold the diagonally stitched section.

And align it with the side of the bag.
