HOW TO MAKE A FAUX LEATHER KNOT BAG

MATERIALS

50 x 76cm (19¾ x 30) faux leather (we used Coventry Plain Leatherette Collection in Spruce from www. hometexstudio.com)

50 x 76cm (19¾ x 30) green polyester lining fabric

Matching thread

Sewing clips

Pattern weights

Level-up your sewing skills just in time to get back out again with this fancy faux leather handbag.

The fastening uses a simple knot design on the handles that gives a little touch of sculptural style without making too much of a statement. That way, it’ll go with more of your outfits.

01 Photocopy and print the template on page 89 and assemble using tape or glue if needed, keeping a seam allowance (SA) of 1cm ( 3 /8).
