I got a pattern for a purse in Des Moines at the AQS show and later showed it to my mom. She promptly informed me that "all the others mom in her coffee group had purses like that!" and then, went on to tell me that it would make a great Christmas gift. I thought that if I missed a "hint" like that, I would be in trouble so I made her one. It was the first purse I've ever made and I am happy with it. I used a decorative stitch in the top half and a batik in the bottom of the purse.

Thank you! The name of the pattern is Bermuda Bag and it's by Pinnk Sand Beach Designs. I had never made a purse like that before. The directions were easy to follow and I want to make 4 more for my 3 DD and my DIL for Christmas.....then maybe, I can make one for myself. It is a nice size and has pockets inside to keep things organized.

Wanna make another one? for me? She would love that, and she can use it with any outfit she wears.

What is it about moms and their hints? I made mine a Bow Tuck purse for mother's day and she loved it. A few weeks ago she said "I love my purse but it's kind of light-colored for the winter, don't you think?" It would have been hard to miss that hint, doncha think?

Love your bag - very cute! Mom will love it.

Thanks...I showed it to my girls and they want purses too so I will have to make more for Christmas....I don't want to leave anybody out. The oldest one wants hers done in denim. It will keep me busy in the comming weeks.
