I'm with you on that - I have the pattern sitting in front of me - I am contemplating one today - I am nervous too - but with the tutorial on here I think I can do it. I know you can too.

I had to send to the US for a pattern and it's on its way. Go girl. Hope you enjoy the making. It's such a pretty pattern.
Good luck from across the pond.

Rah Rah Ree! Let's go! You can do it! I've been wanting to do one too but feel much like you so you go first and tell me how it was ;)

I quilted the pices after they were cut, with FMQ.

I've made 4 and haven't quilted any of them. It is a great purse that everyone loves. I have 2, I made one for my
Dad's 84 yr old girlfriend and my 25 yr old daughter in law. Everyone loves it. Go For it it really is easy and feel free to contact me if you need help. Paula

Ok, I'm going for it!! I have it cut out, except for some of the fusible fleece that I ran out of. I'll go as far as I can without it, then get some more when I'm at Walmart next.

I'll do some 'in progress' pictures. :)

Thanks for everyone's support.

I'm watching you for inspiration :)
no pressure ;)

Question #1:

Step #1 - It says to sew the front pocket piece to the front pocket lining piece, along the 8 1/2" length (pocket is 8 1/2" wide).

Someone explain this to me. :) I looked at the picture tutorial, but she already has this step done and didn't include anything except pictures.

TIA

good question! Answers ?

you are sewing it the width (8 1/2"), the lining piece is actually longer in lenght than the pocket piece. After you sew that seam together you will press your your seam then treat that piece as if it is one piece and fold it in half. you will see that the lining piece now forms the trim band at the top of your pocket. I hope that helps.
