Weekend Purse Project

Okay, in all honesty it took me TWO weekends to make this, but I had several "come and help us" moments.

The handles are a little long for me, but the recipient likes to put the purse up over her head. --I'm sure there's a technical name--sling bag? I don't think she'll mis-place this bag..it's very bright!
I've made enough of these that I've learned to put pockets in them. This one had three smaller pockets on one side and a larger one on the other.
I found this Bucket Bag Pattern and have made several using different sizes of squares.
Anyway...this was made from scraps of another project that I'll post later.

Cute, cute, cute....does it glow in the dark? I love it and I've seen this bag before but never made it. I'm going to have to break down and do one...hugs, Linda

Looks great! I made one of these a few weeks ago and I am now carrying it. I get alot of compliments on it, so that makes me happy! I like how you added the pockets in the lining. I told my mom that the next one that I made I would add pockets.

The purse looks great. Thanks for visiting my blog. I am using Butterick 3819 for the sole patterns. The symbols were my design. I used Bernina Embroidery Software to digitize the designs on the red sole. The purple stole was appliqued.

I've made a couple of these bags now and your idea of putting in inside pockets is a good one. Love the bag and it sure won't get misplaced.
