Quail Purse PDF Pattern

This is a Sewing Club exclusive pattern until next month. Oct 1st. Then you can purchase it here.

Quail Purse

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, and don't try to pair all your outfits with one purse. This months purse project is super fun and allows you to create bags in all sorts of fabrics. This purse was inspired by the classic Channel 2.55. If you want quilted fabric just like a Chanel bag, well, you're in luck! I included a lesson on how to create quilted fabric!

Printing the pattern

When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.

Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.

This file is also a layered PDF so you can print just your size or print just a few sizes. You do not need to print all of the sizes.

You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.

Fabric Requirements

1/2 yard of 40" heavy fabric. You need a 19" x 15" piece for the outside, and the same amount for the inside. You can use the same for both or use a different lining. You can make a lighter fabric heavier by applying a medium weight interfacing to the whole thing.

9" x 15" of ultra firm one-sided fusible interfacing / stabilizer (e.g. Pellon 71F)
2x 1" D-rings
A purse chain
Tuck lock with 22mm x 30mm receiver portion. You can use others, but the mounting holes on the pattern are for that type.
Optional - an 8” zipper - if you want to add an inside pocket
You can find the hardware in my Amazon Shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/SewAnastasia
