So this is the purse I made with the fabric from my fabric angel! So simple, only took a couple of hours. It's the perfect size! The only thing I need is a snap closer or something to seal the top part. But the pockets are awesome!

There was a pattern on Better Homes and Gardens. So simple and easy! The only thing it needs is a closer at the top, and maybe stitch across the bottom of the pockets to keep things from disapearing...other than that, perfect.

Good job. If you want a simple closure, you could just sew a small magnet in each side of the middle at the top. Or, measure 1/3 of the way in and put magnets in two places. Just small ones, nothing noticeable.

Or, you could sew a loop into the middle of the top of one side. Sew a button on the other side.

Awesome bag!! I used matching velcro for all of mine. They even have some nifty heat activated stuff now. I haven't tried it yet...but you can bet I'm gonna!!
