Upcycled Military Uniform Purse {Part 2}

This is a part two of a WIP I started last year.  Read the first half here: WIP Upcycled Military Uniform Purse {Part 1}

I finally got it finished and shipped.

Let's get to the tutorial

The purse was half done like this.

Then I prepared the lining.  Fold it in half, right sides together and sew the left and right sides

Boxed corners

Then prepare zipper, two long fabric pieces for the recessed zipper, two small fabric pieces for the start and end of zipper

Press the long pieces 

Put lining inside the outer bag, wrong sides together, sew the bag opening (bottom half) and lining together

Fold the bag opening (top half) under, pin and top stitch

Pin and Sew the recess zipper fabric piece onto the bag opening, on the inside.

Prepare strap. I used an old belt.

Cut the buckle, leaving the raw edges like this

sew them onto both sides of the bag
