capsterdog Report post Posted July 17, 2011 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.

WinterBear Report post Posted July 17, 2011 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
