Numerous inside pockets can be customized to suit your needs.

If desired, you may skip the texturizing step and make the bag with plain or quilted fabrics.

Tip

I do not like the look of flimsy fabric for the inside lining - I always use interfacing on this fabric and what a difference it really makes - a Professional look!

You'll be ready for a night on the town when you carry this elegant, stylish handbag.

The finished handbag measures 12"W x 11"H x 5"D.

Fabric texturized with Texture Magic™ adds interest to the center panel and decorative button and makes this a fashion accessory worthy to take on a walk down the red carpet.

One half-yard package of Texture Magic™ will texturize enough fabric for two On the Town handbags.

Headliner foam works great inside the bag as it provides great stability with little extra weight. It also eliminates the need to quilt the fabric to the "batting", resulting in a very smooth finish to the bag. One half-yard piece of headliner foam is sufficient to make the bag.
