I would rather save that money to buy the fabric.

I buy a purse pattern when I think it is a cleaver new method of construction. The method was showed at the demo and even though I could probably do it by memory the idea was worth the pattern price to me.

I think this might be a free pattern. I looked up Jiffy Tote in a search and got a pdf from Pearl Louise Designs and it is the same fabric requirements. I hope someone else will check this out and let us all know. Better than the $7.50 for the pattern.

thanks so much for sharing I loved looking at all the purses I usually make them for gifts and not so much for myself...they really are fun to make with all the beautiful fabric on the market today.

Thank you. I got the pattern for Carol's convertible purse last year and made it with my girlfriend which helped to understand the directions.

I just made a Purse-nickity bag today in summer colors. It was really easy and so cute. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow

Geez, I didn't know there were so many bags. I have to check it out again when not so tired.
