Looking for free purse pattern/tute EASY PEASY for this newbie
I've been quilting 10 years now and that's all I've ever made. I branched out this Christmas and made a set of hot pads and oven mitts. They turned out pretty neat.
I am looking for an extremely easy, like sewing for dummies pattern to make a purse. I don't want to make a huge tote bag...maybe something I could make out of 2 fat quarters or something.
Strap would be nice but not necessary. Prefer no zippers (I haven't graduated up that high yet) or magnetic snappy things. I can buy purse handles. I have some but they are circles and the patterns I've found don't have purse handles like those and I'm always looking for a reason to go to JoAnns so I can buy some purse handles.
Easy easy easy....and free. I'm planning a trip home to see the family. They've seen my quilts, but I'd like to make a little travel bag that I can put my wallet in so I don't have to take the cosmic black hole...aka my ginormous bag with.
Any ideas? I searched for bags and bag patterns and free bag patterns and it came back with way too much and none of the first two pages had anything I was looking for.
Thanks in advance!

Put your wallet in a pocket, and take the ginormous big bag. Call it your purse, and you can load it with heavy stuff that would be too heavy for the check-in/carry-on. The last trip we took, all four of us used our carry-on for the only bag, and used a very large "purse" for anything else. No check-in to wait for at baggage claim. We traveled light.

I have an easy looking pattern for a wallet. I might just slim down and just take that. I don't need the ginormous bag in the rental car. We are driving 400 miles. My boys and their junk will take up more room than anything else. A sewing buddy is a fantastic sewist who also quilts. She's amazing. I'm going to see if she can explain the pattern to me and make sure it's as easy as I think it is.

Debbie Shore has some cute bags in her video tutorials on youtube. One was easy enough for my daughter to make in a couple of hours and she is still learning to sew. Just search for Debbie Shore. She has a bunch of stuff on youtube.

This is my favourite purse/tote pattern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7i6Wrl4rZ8
I put pockets on the inside and a button flap to close it. Here are two that I made:

This is my favorite little bag. I make the top band without the overlap, you can still add buttons. http://www.made-by-rae.com/2009/02/f...ewing-pattern/
