Hello all, I'm looking for a pattern for a bigger purse, possibly a tote bag that the top of the purse/tote folds down over the bag and then you do not see into the bag...can anyone help me with a name of a pattern ... I hope someone will know what i'm talking about Thanks

It sounds like a messenger bag.

well it folds over like a messenger bag, but i'm looking for a bag sorta like a sock, you roll the cuff down, but then the whole top will fold over...hard to explain..saw one at an arts and craft show but the price tag was $75.00 and I know I can make one alot cheaper :) but just need to find a pattern but thanks

Sounds interesting I am gonna watch this thread!

I would also love to have that pattern if someone finds it.

trying to picture that, sounds interesting! gonna have to watch too!

I think I know what you mean .... the entire top folds over on to one side or the other, and is sometimes secured with a snap or button. I've seen them ... now to find the pattern!!

if you google or use another search go to free purse patterns and I am sure you can find it there.

I have been on google and other quilt pages and so far have not been able to find any patterns...so madding when you can picture it in your head and have seen one but of coarse when you want it - you can't find it again... I will keep looking...thanks everyone
