Draw the pattern on the fabric and cut.Don't forget to leave seam allowence!
The fabric I used was very sheer so I used a thicker fabric for the lining.If you are using a thick fabric you don't have to do that.

Zipper

I chose to use a black zipper but white also works :) Place the zipper a bit below the fabric and sew.Then fold the fabric and sew again.Repeat this step for the other side.

I googled the star map and draw them on the paper then draw them on the fabic using the chalk.You don't have to draw them exactly the same.This is optional :)

NOTE: If you use a thicker thread.It looks better :)

First sew the main lines then sew little star shapes.Repeat it for both sides.

This step is optional I just didin't want the thread to show on the inside so I glued a sheer fabric over it.

Put the right sides together and sew on the edges.Make sure that you open up the zipper.

So lastly place your purse vertically.You are going to sew like a triangle shape on both ends.Then cut the excess fabric.

Done!
