The Burcham is a designer inspired crossbody bag large enough for the essentials, but small enough to wear comfortably.  It is a beginner friendly bag that will help you improve your basic bag making skills.  The final measurement of the bag is 7.5"W x 7.5"H x 3"D.

 

Cotton, cotton canvas, faux or genuine leather can be used to construct this bag. The bag can be made in all one fabric, or you can use a contrast fabric for the crossbody strap and strap connectors.

Waterproof canvas, cotton, linen, or other similar materials of your choice can be used for the interior lining. 

 

Stabilizer is needed to give the bag firmness.  Decovil Light or other similar weight stabilizer should be used to stabilize the exterior of the bag on the pieces indicated but should remain outside of your seam allowances.  Decovil Heavy, Peltex or other similar weight stabilizer can be used to stabilize the base of the bag.

 

If using cotton or linen for the lining, the pieces will need to be backed with woven interfacing like SF101, Wovenfuse or other similar weight interfacing.
