The SUNSET pattern is an easy half-circle shape purse that is lined and comes with a zip closure. Seven sizes are available that all fit inside each other making it perfect for storage. 

With its timeless design you can turn this pattern into the most  adorable gift, whether it is a 

simple quilted purse or a beautiful faux leather purse, the possibilities are endless.

RECOMMENDED FABRICS

From lightweight to heavy-weight linen, Cotton twill, hemp, flannelette, upholstery fabrics, 

corduroy, velvet, denim, soft leather and any fabrics that is relatively easy to manipulate. Keep in mind that the smaller the purse, the harder it is to work with so it is recommended to keep heavyweight materials for the larger purses only, otherwise it will be impossible to turn the purse inside out.

This pattern is a guideline that can be used for a variety of fabrics and materials. Use your 

discretion for the most appropriate fabric to use and if you are not sure, look up the hashtag #sunsetmimito on Instagram for inspiration.
