There I will show, how I sew the purse with only 3 seams.

First I must say, the idea coms from a german site "Faulengraben".
1: Make the pattern as shown in the 1. pic one for lining one for outer fabricin every size you want.
2. sew lining and outside right sites together with 1. seam (pic2)
3. Fold the 1. seam to the flapline and the lining exactly over it (pic 3 and 4)
4. Fold the bottom of lining and outer fabric as shown in pic 5
5. Sew seams 2 and 3 (pic 6)
6. Turn inside out and sew the opening by hand.
You can sew around the flap by maschine also.
Thats all .
Sorry, but my english is bad, I hope you can understand all.
If there are questions, you can ask me.

Thank you. Great tutorial. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and that is true for me . Pictures definitely help to make things go smoother.

The hand sewing might show a bit, that's why I prefer to leave the opening in the side of the lining instead of in the flap.

The opening must be in the flap or the first seam, seam 2 and 3 close the side from lining and outer fabric together.
I prefer to close the opening by sewingmachine.

Great! We can make any size we think of! Of course, we could machine embroider inside and out and under the flap before following these steps to finish! Thank you very much.
