Thank you. It was easy to make. Cut two outside panels, inside lining and quilt batting~ 18 x 18. Sew each of them seperate on three sides, leaving the top open with right sides together. Then put them all together one inside the other and sew down the top, like a binding edge on a quilt. The straps are 26 " x 5" and just sew like a tube and then sew them on the outside of the bag. *** I added a peice and sewed down the middle for a double pocket, onto the inside peice, before I sewed the purse all together. You can also make a loop to sew onto the back and attach a button on the front, for closure:) I'll probably do that before I give it to my friend. I can't wait to make more of these for gifts. My friend works in a gym, so she'll probably use it to carry her workout clothes, phone, keys.. Let me know if you need any help with the purse. I love to make my own patterns up:)
