First try at making a purse. Was fun!

Nice purse!!! What pattern did u use? :D :D :thumbup: :thumbup:

bebe, it's called Charm Party by Penny Sturges. Try mccallsquilting.com

Love your charm square bag. Great fabric. It is a great looking bag.

Cute bag -- need my address :wink:

WAY CUTE!!!!! Great JOB!

Oh I do like that!!!!!!!

What a great job for a first time ....I love lthe colors and the pattern...thanks for sharing

You did a really nice job!!

That is so cute. Good job.

Kyia

cute bag! Good job!

Oh i love your tote bag, and have been looking for a similar pattern, i tried the mccalls web-page, but had no idea where to find it, do you remember what section or link it is on??? :) :) :)

I really like your purse-your fabric selection is great for it. Sure doesn't look like a first try!

Barb, a friend gave me the pattern and that was written on it. I'll see if I can find out more. Jan

Also it used Moda fabric. That might help.

Jan I love that! I would be interested in the pattern too, its about time I tried making a tote

Oh Jan, please don't go to any trouble. The links Mary just gave were great, the links said the measurements of the tote, which is what i really liked, i've been thinking of winging my own pattern, and liked the size and shape of this one, your tote is so cute :)

Love it. Great job.

Very pretty tote. I have this pattern but haven't done it yet, just the bow tucks one.

All the best patterns always are on US sites. The cost of shipping to the UK would make it cost prohibitive for me to buy it :(

Do they ever do a digital version of the pattern that they can email to you if you buy it? Cuts out the cost of shipping?

I love this bag! Want to make one (stamps her feet!)

:lol:

Most totes start with a 17" square. You could count the squares on the tote and figure it out from there.

That is very nice! Love it! But really love the log cabin blocks on the wall behind it! Great colors!

:D :D :D Great job! Have you seen mine? DH thinks I should have a closure, but the LQS said no. Too late to put on a magnetic clasp. Made a note to add it before putting the lining onto the front and back.
The one I made for Spring was a big hit. Don't you just love these totes?

judee

loveit, love it, i have just got to try that one of these days

Jhittle has great prices on magnetic snaps. That's where I order mine from. Yes, gotta get them on before it all is put together. Same as with putting in pockets. I made a "surprise" tote for someone special (no, they haven't gotten it as of yet) and when I was done, I hung my head when I realized I didn't put in pockets. :( :( But, I'm sure this person will just love the tote anyway.
Ok, now I have everyone's curiosity peeked, huh? lol Nope, not telling, not giving any hints either, except it's going to someone on the board. :) :)

Great purse, love the pocket, really finishes it off.

That is ADORABLE! did it take you long?

thats such a nice bag.....Great job ! :D :D

Very nice job and great colors!

Thanks for posting this! I might have to get the charm pattern, got a few extra packs laying around. :)

Looks like the perfect size to hold folders/school papers requested by DGD. I will have to check it out. thanks for sharing.

I just did a search and found where we can order the pattern

Making one of these purses is on my bucket list. One of these days I'll get to make one. Love it, you did a great job!!!

Love it!

have you tried http://www.epatternscentral.com? I' have downloaded lots of patterns from their site. Made several things and they turned out great. (they don't have this particular pattern but lots of other fun things)

JAn...That is adorable...and in the reds! My Favorite!

I love it.
