Alicia WietholterAbout this project
Mabel is an adorable little handbag inspired by vintage box purses of the 40’s. This bag is roomy enough to carry your everyday essentials while still looking sleek and retro-stylish. It’s also the perfect size for a lunch bag with Pellon® Insul-fleece™ basted or quilted to the lining pieces, or as a cosmetics bag by using laminated or nylon fabric as the lining.

This zipper pull could be as simple or fancy as you make it. Add charm with a fussy cut fabric, or add depth with some free motion quilting. The high loft of the Flex-Foam™ provides a pleasing texture that adds more dimension to any purse or pouch.

IntermediateStar Insulated Snack Bag
When you need to bring a little something, but don’t need an entire lunch bad, this snack bag is perfect to grab and go. It is insulated and quilted, so it’s nice and sturdy, but doesn’t have the bulk of a regular lunch bag. The snack bag measure 7″ tall and 9″ wide and has a zipper top to keep things secure.
