Nice

I love your colors. I need to get working on some myself.

Great handbags. Love the colors.

Beautiful

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have just proven to my DD that I am not the ONLY one in the world who uses the term "pocketbook"!
They are very beautiful.
Hugs!

Furza Flyin, my mother used the term all the time, so I still do on occasion, so you are not the only one in the world who calls them that. :)
I prefer one with lots of pockets, myself! LOL

I love them!!! You have done a marvelous job on
those purses.

Is #2 one of those that you can switch out the outer covering? If so, was it a fairly easy pattern. I've looked at that one a few times.

Do you have a pattern to share for these???

:D I love lots of pockets too!

I like those. great job!

I really like the second pocketbook -it is different!

Those are very cute. I love making purses. In fact that's what got me back to sewing after 11 years. I ordered a book to make fabric bags/purses and loved sewing again. I have made 1 for myself, 1 for my daugher and 1 for my grandaughter. I have 3 more to make for relatives.

In turn...making those got me to clean out the closest here in my sewing/computer room. Looking at all of the fabric and patterns and supplies got me thinking that I really needed to get back to sewing.

Like others have said...you have a one and only. Unless of course someone else loves the fabric you used and wants one just like it. My daughter wants another one...just like mine.

neat really like them

You are doing a wonderful job. did you mention who the book was that you were getting your patterns from? I love lots and lots of pockets and when the purses are made of fabric they can be washed and hung to dry. I just ordered me a new sewing machine and I just can't wait until it arrives to get started making me a new purse and some small things, I'll be a new sewer and I hope that it will be simple enough for me to catch on to it.

Very cute!

love those. you did great!

Very pretty...I especially like the top one. The colors are beautiful. Great job!!

I love your pocketbooks, especially the first ones colors.

Cute bags

Very pretty and practical! I love that you call them pocketbooks. I still do too, and my daughters think it's funny.

Very nice!!

Yours are so lovely. The first purse I made for my DGD I made a lot of mistakes and had to reverse sew (rip-out) many times. By the time I got done with the project I called it the couture bag cause there definitely wasn't another like it!

Very nice. First one my favorite. Can you share pattern with us? Thanks

I like the second one the best with the scalloped denim. Different from alot on here. Mary

Oh my! Those are beautiful :-D

I am an Aussie and I have to be honest - I have never heard of a bag being called a pocketbook. I don't understand why they are called this. Is it because they have lots of pockets? Why "book". Somebody please enlighten me. By the way - they are gorgeous.

Very pretty!! :D

Love these...You did an awesome job. Especially like the second one with the bottom design and buttons. What pattern is it? Have been looking for one with a removable exterior. I too love making bags bags and more bags of all kinds. Have made bags for years and never tire of them. Never seem to have enough. LOL
