I am looking for a cute little purse for an 11 year old. I don't care if it is quilted or not. Does anyone have any ideas or know where I could get one?

Do a search for free tote bag patterns and then use kid fabric and she will love it. I can probably get my hands on a pattern if you are interested.

Hi, Try Lazy Girl Designs. She offers some great free patterns on her site. I used one of them to make purses for all of my granddaughters and daughters last Christmas. THey were easy and turned out great. Two of my granddaugters are just turning 12 this year.

Fabricluvr, thank you for the posting link. I had downloaded the pattern and directions from the Martha Stewart website, but the directions were less than clear and the diagram needed to be enlarged 200 per cent.

Your link calls for thin batting and I think this will make a much nicer purse.

Thanks again! :-)

glad i could help. off to the MS site to see which one you are talking about!

*ETA -

oh! i see! it's almost identical! that is a problem having to enlarge 200%! don't even know how you would do that except at a copy shop!

I made this very same pattern for my 12 year old grand daughter, for Christmas & she just loved it!! :D I think you will be really pleased with the pattern too. Good luck :thumbup:
