Crochet one row of sc in straight side of the flap. 1 sc in first and last st in the straight side and 2 sc in other sts in the middle of the straight side of the flap. (26 sts total to match with one open side sts in the purse) Fasten off and weave the ends.

Strap

(MC) leaving 4-5” tail of yarn, ch 190 or crochet ch(s) until getting your desired length. Fasten off and cut the yarn leaving 4-5” tail.

Leaving again 4-5” length of the (MC) yarn, join yarn in the first ch of the chains we just crocheted, sl st to each ch across, fasten off and cut the yarn leaving 4-5” tail.

Finishing / assembly

Mark each corner sts in the purse with the stitch marker. Mark one of the side corner st first, and count 26 sts forward and add another stitch marker 27^th st in other side of the corner.  Without that 2 marked sts, there should be 26 sts for each front and back side of the opening top of the purse.  (see the below photo)

Attach the flap

You can sew the flap to the purse or join together with sl st (I use two methods for each purse).  When attaching the flap leave marked 2 corner sts. 

Tie the strap to the purse

Make a knot on marked sts in two sides of the purse using yarn tails of the strap. Instead of weaving the ends of those tails of the strap, I added 1 bead into each tail in pink color purse (make a knot at the end of tails to stop the beads). And I wove the ends without beads for the purple color purse. (You can see it in below photo)

Attach zipper and bag lining 

See photo collage below. I sewed the zipper first and then lining to the purse. Click on Crochet Bag Liner tutorial by Dearest Debi to learn more about crochet bag lining.
