This fall I made several purses to give as gifts. Here is the first. My first time putting in a zipper, and a chance to practice free-motion quilting around the flowers.
Here is the inside, with a bonus glasses case.
The next pattern I chose to take advantage of a fabric my mom liked with flowers in horizonal rows. I liked this pattern a lot; the bag is quilted all over in a diamond pattern.
Here is another from the same pattern, different fabric.
Finally, these bags were made from a jelly-roll---that is a set of coordinated fabrics that come pre-cut into two inch strips. I made it and realized the bag was way too big, more like a shopping bag than purse. Luckily I had enough fabric for another, but I cut everything down my 25%. That turned out much more purse-like.
