I spiral sewed the wool to the buckram, and constructed the outside of the back completely then laid in the lining. I did interface the lining for more stability for when I put my things inside it. If I make the bag again, I think Im going to sew a little loop ribbon over the top so I have somewhere to hang the bag from my finger.

The purse is large enough to hold all my modern items (wallet, phone, compact, etc.). I love how creative they were during wartime!
