FINISHING Using yarn needle, weave in all ends. Lining Place all bag pieces on felt and trace around the pieces. Cut out the felt pieces, cutting the felt 1/4"/0.5 cm smaller (all the way around) than the bag pieces. Do not sew lining pieces to bag pieces until instructed. Using sewing needle and thread, whipstitch pocket and flap linings to pockets and flaps. Center one pocket over lower end of each gusset; sew in place using yarn needle and yarn tail. Place flaps slightly above pockets, aligning stripes. Using yarn needle and yarn tail, sew across tops of flaps. Draw all yarn ends to the wrong sides of the gussets. Sew gusset liners in place, hiding all yarn ends under lining. Take care that linings do not cover the edging sts. Cut body felt lining into three pieces; front, back, and bottom. Width of bottom lining should be the same as the width of the gusset at lower edge. Sew front, back, and bottom bag linings to bag body. Assembly Hold WS of body and one gusset together, with top edges even. Row 1: Working through both thicknesses, holding 2 strands of A together, join yarn with sc in upper corner of bag and gusset, sc in each edging st around gusset to opposite upper corner. Fasten off and draw yarn ends to wrong side of bag, keeping the ends hidden under the felt lining. Join second gusset to bag in same manner. Purse Frame Sleeve With RS of bag facing, join 2 strands of A to top edge of one gusset with sc in 10th st before edging rows between front and gusset Row 1: Ch 1, sc in next 9 sts of gusset (to connecting rows between front and gusset); working in ends of rows of edging and in first sts of front [sc2tog] 3 times, sc in each st across top of bag to last 3 sts before connecting rows between front and opposite gusset; working in last sts of front and in ends of rows of edging [sc2tog] 3 times, sc in next 10 sts across gusset, turn—65 sc. Rows 2 and 3: Ch 1, sc in each st across; change to 2 strands of B in last st, turn. Rows 4–7: Repeat Rows 2 and 3, working 2 rows with B, then 2 rows with C; change to 2 strands of A in last st of last row. Row 8: With A, ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. Row 9: Ch 1, sc in first 9 sts, [sc2tog] twice, sc in each st to last 13 sts, [sc2tog] twice, sc in last 9 sts, turn—61 sc. Row 10: Ch 1, sc in first 8 sts, sc2tog, sc in each st to last 10 sts, sc2tog, sc in last 8 sts, turn—59 sc. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing frame sleeve to one side of purse frame. Fold sleeve over one side of frame, into inside of bag. Using yarn needle and yarn tail, sew last row of sleeve to first row of sleeve. Fasten off and draw yarn ends behind felt lining. Make second purse frame sleeve across back of bag in same manner. Attach D-rings and Tabs Slip tab ends (not triangles) through D-rings, fold ends over. Using yarn needle and yarn tail sew tab end to back of tab. Position two tabs on front of bag, spaced approx 4"/10 cm apart and allowing D-rings to extend just above purse frame sleeve. Continuing with yarn needle and yarn tail, sew tabs to bag front. Position and sew two tabs to the back of bag in same manner. Handle (make 2) Holding 2 strands of A together, chain 5. Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and in each remaining ch across, turn—4 sc. Rows 2–84: Ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. Do not turn at end of last row.
