Lomexa Handbag - Bag Making Tutorial by Country Cow Designs

This is the full length tutorial for making the Lomexa Handbag by Country Cow Designs. Please read the safety information at the bottom if you're planning to sew with this tutorial.

Purchase the pattern here: https://countrycowdesigns.com/lomexa

Hardware packs are available to purchase from:
USA: https://siahswagbags.com
Australia: https://onlinebagsupplies.com.au
Canada: Emmaline Bags has everything required but unfortunately doesn’t supply a kit at this time.

The standard pattern is the one in the video and includes two exterior zip pockets, Decovil light stabiliser and a non-directional print for the exterior. If you want to make it without the exterior pockets, with sew-in foam stabiliser, or use a directional print on the exterior then you’ll need to read the additional instructions included in the pattern.

I also have a short video on rivets and hand presses: https://youtu.be/WTeZti9jNmo
