Out of the purses I have, this one is my favorite. Size, shape, pockets - they are all just right!
Since enjoy making purses, when a friend started making herself a new purse, and we talked about it I decided I wanted to make one too. I thought I would make up my own pattern from my favorite purse! It has a pocket on each end (sunglasses, phone), and a slip pocket (papers, little things I need to temporarily hang on to...).
This is the other side. It has a zipper pocket (for my little Swiss Card and a small notebook/pen), and another slip pocket behind that.

On the inside it is divided in half by a large zipper pocket where I keep ibuprofen, kleenex, cough drops and such, and each side has two slip pockets (reading glasses, gum, lipstick...).
It closes with a magnetic snap. Just what I like!
And, in case I decide I want to make another one
I made myself a pattern...
while I was making the purse.
**This was the best I could do when I ran out of fabric. Did you notice the handles were made with different fabric than the trim?
No, I didn't notice that they were different fabrics until you pointed it out! Those really are close. Love the purse!
ReplyDeleteWow! You made your own purse pattern? That's talent! I never would have thought to do that. Hey, if you like cheap zippers, check out the zipit store on Etsy. I discovered it this week. Have an order coming in. Need to teach myself zippers.
ReplyDeleteI like your purse! How cool to make a pattern for your favorite purse, you can make one of every color!

ReplyDeleteHello nicee post
ReplyDeleteI live making purses. Is there a way to get your pattern?!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! I am temporarily living somewhere else, and I don't have it with me - I'll be back in July... :) I just measured and traced the outside of the purse until I had what worked (include seam allowances on final pattern piece). I drew the pockets on and put instructions on the pattern once I figured everything out. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI want the pattern!
ReplyDeleteWill the pattern be available soon.it looks perfect for one the I want to make for my sister.
ReplyDeleteI would love the pattern!
