Chào Sương Khuya và các bạn -
dễ thực hiện lắm , các bạn có thể thay đổi một vài chi tiết theo ý kiến cá nhân và điều kiện của mình , chỉ hơi chậm nếu bạn chưa từng....thôi.

Shopping list (as if you were buying from a shop, if not using stash fabrics)
1. Make up your pattern part 1. - Start with an A3 (42cm x 30cm) sized piece of paper, and fold it in half by bringing the short sides together. This is because when we want to make a symmetrical pattern it's best to draw half of the pattern, fold the paper in half then cut it out... Taking our crease line as our starting point, draw the two blue coloured lines as in the photo:
1. measure 22cm up from the bottom of the paper and draw a right angle line from crease line to end of paper. 2. along the line you have just made mark point at 17cm. 3. At the 17cm mark measure 95 degrees and mark the vertical line as seen in photo.
2. Make up your pattern part 2. - draw the black coloured lines as shown in photo.
1. Draw a free hand curve at the bottom right side of the paper. 2. draw a triangle (for the dart) at the fullest part of the curve (my triangle is 55 degrees, and the sides are 3.5cm long) ensure that when you fold this dart triangle in half there is paper hanging off), check by physically bringing the straight sides of the triangle together. 3. measure 5 degrees from the top line and draw the line. 4. fold your pattern in half along the crease line and cut it out!
With any luck your pattern should look something like this!
From this pattern cut 2 pieces of silk; 2 pieces of lining; 2 pieces of iron-on interfacing; and 2 pieces of heavy sew-in.
3. Make up your pattern part 3. - Make up your pattern for the handle tabs as shown in the photo.
Opps! I forgot to show in the pic that there is a gap if 1cm above and below those cut-out triangles!
From this pattern cut: 2 pieces of silk; 2 pieces of lining; 2 pieces of iron-on interfacing; and 2 pieces of heavy sew-in.
4. Make up the bag handle tabs - Iron the iron-on interfacing onto the wrong side of both of the silk pieces. Make a sandwich with the one of the the silk pieces (right side up) on the the bottom, a lining piece (right side down) in the middle, and a heavy sew-in piece on the top. Pin the sandwich and stitch together leaving a 10cm gap in one of the long edges. Make notches into the 'V' of the handle tab, and clip off the corners. This will reduce bulk and make for a smoother result when you turn the handle tab right side out. Turn tab right side out thru the gap and press. Repeat for the other bag handle tab.
Make notches into 'V' of the handle tab, and clip off the corners of the point as shown.

This should be the result...
5. Insert the magnetic snaps - take one of the handle tabs and fold it in half (make sure the half or the tab which has the gap in the bottom of it is facing outwards (the exterior side (not the lining) of the bag - this will be sewn shut in Step 12.) On the tab half which will face the inside of the bag, find and mark the centre of the tab and push one of magnetic snap parts into the tab so as the make two prong marks/indentations. Using a stitch ripper make two small cuts into the markings you have just made (don't cut through both halves of the tab, just one half!). Take one of the magentic snap parts and push the prongs through the right side of the tab. Slip a metal washer over the prongs at the back of the tab and then press the prongs down away from each other.
Reapeat with the other tab and the other mag snap part in the same way.

Magnetic snaps comprise of 4 parts; 2 washers, and a male and female. Find the centre of the tab, and make prong marks/indentation by pushing a mag snap part into your fabric. Push the mag snap part into the right side of your tab and slip a washer on the back.
