Sorry guys. Nairaland banned me from commenting on threads for reasons best known to them. They just lifted tha ban today. Will continue tomorrow

You should have the board and marco covered with your fabric.
Note: if u're not using ankara, u can use velvet, lace, gele, leather, jean...use fabric for marco and lining (tafeta,raw silk) for the board.
Now, we will cut the sides. Two measurements are needed for this.
1. Determine how open u want the purse to be when u're tru, measure it and call it openess of d purse, add 2.5inches to it. For this purse, we'll use 3inches for the openess, add 2.5 n we'll have 5.5inches.
2. The front measurement which is 6inches, add 1 inche to it, we'll have 6+1= 7inches.

We will cut a fabric : 7 inches by 5.5 inches on fold, in two places. This simply means the fabric will be 14inches long and 5.5inches wide. Cut two of it.
Cut brown paper 7inches by 5.5 inches and gum it to the pieces of fabrics u have. The brown paper will be inside. Follow d pics below

Determine the openess of d purse
