Purse Palooza ~Fancy Fylerion Bag

Here is my second bag for Purse Palooza 2013 - the Fancy Fylerion bag.

Mama Lusco's Fancy Fylerion bag

The Fylerion bag pattern is a FREE pattern, tutorial and video tutorial from Sew Sweetness.  I've had this one bookmarked for awhile and thought it would be a good size and shape for a special lady's Christmas gift.  Like many Sew Sweetness bags, it is large, measuring 10"long x 15" wide x 2-3" deep....perfect for bringing along lots of stuff!

Back side

This is a great pattern to customize.  To add some extra detailing, I made piping for the front & back accent pieces.  I also added an interior zippered pocket in addition to the patch pocket and switched the single strap to these great purse handles that I've had in my stash for over a year.  I think they are very classy and make my Fylerion fancy :)

Inside zippered pocket and key holder

Sara's instructions were easy to follow and the video tutorial is great for beginners.  This is a pattern I will be using again because it is easy to personalize  and has a great size and shape.  The magnetic snap closure is a favorite of mine because it is simple and works well.  Check out the Fylerion Bag pattern & tutorial at Sew Sweetness here to make one of your own.  This one will be a great Christmas gift!

I also hope you are following along at Purse Palooza 2013.  I have been enjoying the bag reviews and am finding some new purse designers.  I'd love to hear some of your favorite free purse tutorials.  Happy Sewing!
