the answer to my switching purses...
 

Got this pattern at Hancock awhile ago. Finally got it made. It is one purse and covers to change it up. Love it!! I added the zipper tho.

What 'cha think?

EDITED with pattern info Simplicity # 2676

Love it! Is that pattern still available?

Beautiful purse(s)!

Would love pattern information, please.

ok so do explain? would that be just one purse with different bottoms?and what is the pattern called?
cool looking!like maybe could be made for the younger ones....

Great idea. Hope you are able to share the pattern name!

Some of us 'older' ones love it, too! What is the pattern called?

i've seen these done on the infomercials, but yours is so much better. great job!!!!

Thanks everyone.

Oops, it is a simplicity pattern #2676 (edited on my post).

Yes, it is one purse and separate bottom covers.

This is soooo neat!!!

What a clever idea!

I think that's very clever (and I never ever carry a purse).

Do those "pockets" on the outside then become usable, or would everything just flow straight to the bottom?

I guess you could sew inside pockets on the removable bottoms. Maybe.

Really impressive!!! Love it!

I have that pattern too... just sitting there waiting to be made, oh the inspiration that you just gave me.... good job and thanks for sharing.

I love this purse pattern

Thank you, thank you. I am sure Simplicity will have a huge run on that pattern. Hope they still have some when they get my order. I made bow-tucks for the bazaar last year and this will be perfect for this year.

That is neat 1 purse ,but alot of different looks. Love it . joyce j

Super bag(s)! Love the different bottoms!

That is so cute and clever! Would make wonderful gift that would just keep on giving!

That is beautiful. Just checked my pattern file and I have that one. Hancock has a pattern sale this week. Simplicity Patterns 5/$5 Oct 4 - 8; McCalls Patterns 99 cent Oct 5 - 9

Perfect, great idea for one that hates to change purses, love it, will look for pattern today.

Love, love, love!!!

very nice purses

How clever is that. What a great idea.

OMG How cute! Thanks for the info on the pattern too.

Thanks everyone. Yes, I got the pattern for $.99

Yes, they are usable. I don't need to unbutton them because I have small hands LOL. And yes, stuff does fall to the bottom, but I haven't had any problem 'digging' for anything, like my phone.

Nancy is right - yours is better.

That is really cute and all your variations are awesome!
peace

I like the variety you were able to create!

I love it. I think I'll be going to Hancock's to look for that pattern. Was it hard to make? I've made quite a few Bow Tucks bags. Do you use fusible fleece? Good job!

I have two of these purses. Love them and get so many compliments on them.

Sewnsewer2,
The zipper that you have added really makes this bag wonderful. Do you have any hints to give us for putting in the zipper???

Colleen

Young or old - who wouldn't love it! You did a great job making it and love your fabric selections. I love this - thanks so much for posting it and the pattern information.

Brilliant. I'd love the pattern. Hope it's around.

Isn't that amazing!! I knew the pattern you were talking about before I saw the pictures (and I was right). All look very cute.

Just beautiful, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Really cute!

Love the change up! What a different look!

Debbie is wasn't too hard. And I added a lining and zipper to mine. Took me a good while to figure out the zipper part because I'd never put one in like this one before, so you might want to go with what the pattern says and make the tab if you aren't used to sewing zippers. Yes, I did use fleece. And for the pockets and cover I used fusible interfacing, not the fleece.
