AllPeopleQuilt’s “Quick-Change Purse” is a sewing pattern for a fabric bag with a separately sewn, removable clear-vinyl liner. Designed by Missie Carpenter and published February 6, 2014, the finished bag measures 7 1/2 × 11 × 4 1/4 inches. The pattern specifies a strap, magnetic snap closure and boxed bottom—not an expandable or reversible exterior.

What the Quick-Change Purse pattern makes

The project combines a printed-fabric bag body with synthetic-leather side panels and strap. A separate liner is sewn from clear heavyweight vinyl and inserted into the bag, so the removable part is the contents pouch. The publisher’s description, credited to American Patchwork & Quilting Editors, calls it “A smart bag with a removable contents pouch makes switching bags as simple as changing outfits.”

The pattern gives finished dimensions of 7 1/2 × 11 × 4 1/4 inches. Those are the project’s stated measurements, not a general size range for purses made from the pattern. See the AllPeopleQuilt Quick-Change Purse pattern for its project download and instructions.

Materials specified by the pattern

Material Quantity or specification
Brown print fabric for the bag 1/2 yard
Stable synthetic leather One 6 × 24-inch piece
Light-green print fabric for the lining 1/3 yard
Fusible interfacing 1/3 yard
Clear heavyweight vinyl for the removable liner Two 10 × 16-inch rectangles

The pattern’s yardage and cutting directions assume 42 inches of usable fabric width. Measurements include 1/4-inch seam allowances. If you are buying clear heavyweight vinyl, match the pattern’s material description and check the current product details; the source does not specify a brand or particular listing.

How the construction works

  1. Join the outer fabric pieces with the synthetic-leather strips to form the bag body.
  2. Box the corners to shape the flat base.
  3. Apply fusible interfacing to the fabric lining.
  4. Join the outer body and lining around the top, leaving an opening in the lining seam. Turn the assembly through that opening.
  5. Attach the brad rings and folded synthetic-leather strap, then install the two halves of the magnetic snap.
  6. Sew the two specified vinyl rectangles into the separate liner and insert it into the bag.

Follow the linked pattern for the full cutting and sewing sequence; the steps here describe its construction, not a substitute for the complete instructions.

What “quick-change” means here—and what it does not

In this pattern, quick changing refers to removing the contents pouch to switch bags. It does not describe a purse whose exterior expands, contracts or reverses. A separate 2009 patent application uses the similar name “Quick Change Purse” for an expandable and contractible interchangeable handbag-lining system; that is a different design, not a feature of the AllPeopleQuilt project. See the Google Patents application US20090065110A1 for that distinct concept.
