Thank you Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for. IThat is what I made years ago. I have read also that you can use wallet backs to make something similar. Thanks again.

Hi there. I found a stirrup purse pattern here in this thread:

I've never seen a wallet-back stirrup though, so I don't know how to help ya there.

Anytime.

Wouldn't a wallet back make a much shallower purse though.Most wallet-backs I've seen are about 1/2 as long as the strip used in the purse pattern in that thread. To be semi-proportional, you might have to cut the wallet back in half along the long edge and make essentially a half-sized purse?

The wallet bag was featured in Doodle page 7 of series 5 . As you can see from the scan section, it was made of 4 wallet backs, plus a wallet sized base, and 2 soft leather gussets. You should be able to figure out how to build it by looking at the pic. Looks to to involve quite a bit of lacing.
