What a cute purse - and so kind of you to make to donate!
Also, like everyone, I love the addition of the zippered pockets. I think I should add these to my next one as well.
Great job :)

this is the mini bowtuck as probably all of you know....
And everyone that makes them knows they call for the fusible fleece. I did the front sections with the fleece but I also added another piece of fabric for the back. (like when you do a quilt).....
For the lining I cut it 13" high instead of the 11-1/2 the pattern called for. I also added another piece of fabric to it. the extra fabric creates the lining for the zippered sections.
3" down from the top I cut it straight across. I centered the zipper (CAN NOT be any longer than 9") and stitched each side to where the zipper will be. I used a 1/2" seam to sew this. I pinned the zipper in the opening and stitched that into place.
Tip....On each end, I pressed the seam open and when I stitched the zipper I started at that end and stitched them open so they laid flat. After I was done, I recut the lining piece to the 11-1/2 inches that it called for.
That is how I did mine, but I am sure there is another way. Some purses have the smaller side pocket. I like the way that I did these..
ALSO......one some that I made, if I put in two zippers, I would make them different colors. That way I could destinquish what I had in each side....I was always opening the wrong side!!
I hope this helps.
