The pattern for this purse is called The Nancy Ann http://totesbysandy.com/id82.html You will have to have your quilt shop order it if they don't already carry it.

I want to let you in on a "secret" ...this bag is slouchy BUT if you ADD some stiff Pellon between the layers of the lining and the outside of the purse..it should stand up. Both the lining and the outside fabric has fusible fleece on each but to give the purse some structure, I would add the stiffer pellon to it. "personally"...I would add length to the handle too but the pattern allows you to hold this purse on your shoulder with the purse tucked under your armpit.

I staged the purse for the picture to look more structured by my next one I will add the stiffer pellon to it. I love the shape of this purse too and it only took 3 hours to make it! This includes all of the prep work. It has grommets on the ends btw.

I want to play with this pattern some more..I'll post as I do.

thank you for your interest and comments.

Gorgeous! Do you remember the name and line of the fabric? It sure adds to the pattern. Well done!

Love purses don't have room for all the ones I want to make(not to keep) It really is a cute bag. Thanks for letting us drool.

Any chance you could post a picture of the inside of the bag? I'd like to see how many pockets it has before I run off and buy the pattern - and I'd have to do that online so no opportunity to see inside!

TacoMama 09-17-2012 07:54 AM

It is very pretty! Thanks for sharing. I purchased some fabric similar to yours and it would make a beautiful handbag, too!
