The Phoebe Bag is one of the first things I a saw when I came on to this board. It was very easy to make. I did make it a little more difficult on myself by using a kinda stiff fusible on the lining, besides the fusible fleece I used on the outer fabric so the bag would have body. I also made the handle longer and added a extra pocket. It was fun and I would like to make more and also reduce the size and make them for my Granddaughters. I never thought I would ever be making purses. Also I learned a new stitch the Ladder Stitch, which I learned watching a video tutorial someone posted the other day. Think I will use this purse tomorrow when I go to Jacksonville QuiltFest.
It is a free pattern
