Watch as Jo shows you how to make the Lomexa Handbag.
The standard pattern includes two exterior zip pockets and a slouchy structure. Additional instructions are included for removing the exterior pockets and creating a more structured look. The interior of the bag features 4 slip pockets and a zipper pocket with 12 card slots. The pattern has the option for lots of hardware including strap end caps, rivets, bag feet and a crossbody strap. However, if you want to make a simple version, the only essential piece of hardware is the O-rings for those funky feature handles.
Interior zip pocket with 12 card slots
Four interior slip pockets
For the “feature” fabric I recommend a colourful cotton fabric. If using something heavier, such as cork, vinyl or leather, just omit the woven interfacing.
For the lining fabric I recommend quilting cotton or waterproof canvas. If using waterproof canvas, omit the interfacing.

To make this bag you’ll need to use various tools/equipment. You should only use tools that are well maintained and that you are competent at using. I recommend reading and following the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of each tool.

If in doubt, seek guidance from an experienced professional of the tools you are using or contact the manufacturer directly. You are responsible for ensuring that you have a safe and suitable working environment. The instructions in this pattern are suggestions only and you are responsible for ensuring that you can carry out the suggestions safely without causing injury or harm to yourself or others. You are also responsible for ensuring that your sewing machine and other equipment are capable of carrying out the suggestions. I cannot be held accountable for damage caused because the tools used are unsuitable.
