Wow, you did a great job, wonderful purses!

Very nice purses. And so thoughtful of you to donate them to charity! I've been looking for a pattern like your shoulder bag. Did you design this yourself or purchase the pattern, if I might ask. Thanks!

Cute! Nicely done and what a wonderful individual to make those!

Hi here is the pattern for the one you are asking about... Honestly, there was a ton of hand basting during the assembly. Slow going. Oh there is a zippered pocket under that flap on the front.

Hi again everyone !! Thanks so much! But, I am not such a nice person... really I am an old meany! LOL!

Here is the pattern for the back pack looking one

I bought this one at the Hancock fabric store for 99cents. See above for number.

Great looking purses. You did a great job. Good of you to donate.

Good job. I make lots of purses/bags so appreciate all the work you've done. Sure hope the bidders at the auction also appreciate all the craftsmanship.

Thanks so much everyone! It is a lot of work, but oh so fun to do. I enjoy making bags and purses and change up the patterns to suit myself. When they don't have a zippered pocket inside, I put one there anyway. Everyone likes to have a secure spot , right? I also like a cell phone pocket on the outside. It makes it so easy to find the little thing when it's ringing.

I am so glad you like them, I am feeling like maybe the auction people will too.

tutty 03-22-2011 07:11 PM

Love the idea of using outdoor fabric and love how you did all of them ! Quite talented . I for one am not very good at purses ! And for such a good cause. Blessings all around.

RedGarnet222 03-23-2011 07:25 AM

Thank you all so very much. You are very kind to make such sweet comments about these bags. I am just hoping they do well at auction.
