Thread: Has anyone tried this purse/tote pattern?

That is one of the things on my want to do list. I say go for it.

This is a really cute pattern! Give it a whirl!

I wanted to try bags for a change and ordered one from Connecting Threads..it was an Open City Tote Kit - but I can't find it on line this morning....I bought the kit to try it and thought that if it was fun I'd make some out of my stash fabrics....

Go for it. If you have a problrm just put it on the board.

Ah, here's the link for the pattern and Kit that I ordered... http://www.connectingthreads.com/Fab...it_KD2434.HTML
It should arrive next week....I thought that it was a great buy to try out...would make great gifts.

if you're buying it for the fabric, then give it a try, why not. if you're trying it for the pattern, then the internet is loaded with free wonderful purse patterns.

Go for it! I did one in a class in an hour & then I made a few as xmas gifts it fun & easy!

Thanks Butterfly for the link! My computer crashed and I lost all the freebie sites. Now I get to restart my collection!

Connecting threads gives very clear cutting and sewing directions..at least for thier quilts. I would think it would be the same for thier sewing patterns. You go for it!

Penny Sturges wrote the pattern and it is very easy to do.
Go for it!!
