Learn how to sew the Ruby Bag

This video course includes step-by-step instruction on making the Ruby Bag.

The Ruby Bag is a smaller-sized purse that can be worn cross-body, over the shoulder, or as a wrist pouch. It has a slightly curved top portion and a flat body. This makes it sit nicely against the body.

  • 1 roll SHH vinyl OR cork (you will have left over material to make more bags)
  • Exterior quilting cotton or canvas: 1 FQ
