Fabric-Lined Crochet Purse Pouch

I am VERY proud to unveil my first ever crochet design.   

Motivated by my goal to handmake 75% of my christmas gifts this year, I designed a fabric-lined purse pouch (a cosmetic, toiletry, money, or just whatever bag) that many of my female family members or friends will love!

You may leave the bag unlined or you may line it with any matching or contrasting fabric to add a special touch!

What You'll Need:
Yarn (I used Red Heart Shimmer Worsted Weight)
Size H Hook
Needle (for weaving in the ends)
Matching/Contrasting Fabric (fat quarter)
Thread
Scissors
Sewing Machine
Magnets (optional for purse closure) & Glue Gun

Here's How:
First, crochet the purse pouch.  
Gage: Isn't particularly important as the purse isn't "fitting" anybody.  
Stitches Used:  Slip Stitch, Single Crochet (Sc), Half-Double Crochet (HDC), Front-Post Half-Double Crochet (FPHDC), Back-Post Half-Double Crochet (BPHDC), Picot

Second, break out your lining fabric, scissors, thread, and sewing machine.  Remember, this second part is optional as you may just whip stitch the sides of the body together.  The lining just adds a special touch!

Lining
1)  Measure the body of your purse -- do not include the flap part in your measurement!  Mine turned out to be 8x10".
2)  Iron your fabric!!
3)  Cut your lining fabric by the same dimensions.  Therefore, I cut my fabric 8x10".
4)  Allow for a 1/2" seam allowance on all sides -- pin.
5)  Sew seam on all four sides.
6)  Sew lining into body of purse.
7)  Fold over and whip-stitch sides of body of purse.
8)  Fold flap over opening! 
9)  You may add a magnetic closure by glueing the magnets where appropriate.  I added the magnets after realizing it needed that "something" to keep it closed.
