A short 1937 how-to article on making up handwoven or embroidered fabric into handbags. It gives general rules on interlinings, choosing shape and top, turning back and cat-stitching side seams, fitting the lining, and using pins and a pocket. It also covers stiffening envelope and zipper-top bags and choosing lining fabrics such as rayon taffeta. Two line drawings illustrate the seam finishing.
