Circle Bag

Four circles of fabric can come together to make a simple, unique little bag!

Make this in any size you like! These instructions are for a 12in (30.5cm) diameter purse, using a circle template that I made from a plate. You could make your own circle template from any round object to whatever size you like, just make sure you adjust the amount of fabric you need according to how big your bag is! A small, 7in (17.75cm) circle, drawn round a side plate, would make a cute purse for a little girl. I have added a magnetic clasp to the lining to make it a bit more secure, but you could omit this if you wish.
