Free Beginner Sewing Bag/Purse Pattern for Women

Unlike traditional appliqué where the accent fabrics are placed on top of the base, reverse appliqué positions them underneath—in this case, under a faced edge. Choose a fun flower print fabric for color popping accents against basic (and practical) black poplin. This soft bag folds up for easily toting on any shopping spree.
