Steps To Complete

To make your purse, the first thing you need to do is cut out the straps. The straps need to be cut out first, so you can use the full width of the fabric to make them.

Using a straight edge and a rotary cutter, cut two straps 3/4" wide (UTZ2801), 1" wide (UTZ2800), or 1 1/4" wide (UTZ2799) by 40"-55" long.

To determine the length, use a tape measure and hang it over your shoulder in the same way you'd wear the purse straps would, and then add 4" to the length that feels comfortable to you.

Then take the printed dieline for the front fabric piece, spray the back side of the paper with temporary adhesive, and smooth it onto the wrong side of the pleather or leather.

Placing it on the wrong side of the fabric will prevent the sticky residue from building up on the right side of the pleather or leather.

Cut around the shape, and repeat to cut out all the other dieline piece.

Make sure to print each dieline twice, and cut one pleather piece and one lining piece out of the front and back dielines. Also make sure to cut out two strap attachments (the small rectangle) out of the pleather.
