How to sew a reversible bag by Debbie Shore

An easy to sew reversible bag, perfect for holidays as you have two bags in one! This one doesn’t have a fastener as then it wouldn’t be reversible, but if you don’t want to reverse it you could add a magnetic snap or a flap to fasten.

Materials:
38” x 14” 97cm x 36cm] patterned fabric [Batik Style Cotton]
38” x 18” plain fabric [Wine Purple cotton poplin]
90cm x 1m fusible interfacing [Vlieselene H200]
7” circle template

Cut:
2 patterned and 2 plain fabrics each measuring 19” x 10” [48cm x 25cm]
2 patterned and 2 plain fabrics each measuring 13” x 4” [33cm x 10cm]
2 plain pieces for the handles each measuring 4” x 21” [10cm x 53cm]

Fuse interfacing to the wrong side of each piece.

This is an updated remake of a 2012 video so you may have seen it before, but it’s still one of my most watched videos!

Debbie, I follow a few different tutors and you are far and away the best I have found. Such clear instructions and you demonstrate every step in real time, thank you, Ax

Just finished this bag in one quick and easy evening. I like smaller bags so reduced the 19” to 17” and the 13” x 4” to 11” x 3”. I also widened the strap to 6” which gave me 1 1/2” wide finished strap. I’m not alway lucky when I make changes but this still came out perfect. May try this again with a more rectangular shape. Your videos are just that good. Thanks for fun projects😊

Fantastic! Had a lovely time making this for my sister. Can't wait for her to see it. I'm a complete beginner and had no trouble following the instructions. Everything turned out great.

I’ve made lots of these bags. Friends have asked me to make them one. I also made them child sized as party bags for my granddaughters party guests and they loved them.

Imagine that, I just sat down today and made the pattern for your other reversible handbag much like this one. I showed my neighbor my finished bag and now she wants one. I'll be making 7 more, Christmas is coming! I love your tutorials. :)

Hi Ms Debbie. This is perfect! It is independence month here (27th October and hubby's birthday). I will make this bag in our national flag colours - blue, yellow and green. Thank you.
