I finally got up my nerve and made a purse.. I was disappointed in the inside as the pattern directions did not indicate it being "finished" until you get almost through with the construction.. guess I should have read completely through the pattern instructions before I started.. lesson learned. so here are the pictures.. the 3rd picture is fabric I'm going to make into my next purse project.

Nice purse!!!

Love your fabric choices. Your hand bag looks great....

Gorgeous fabric choices!!

Really nice job there. Love the colors.

Love your purse and fabric.

Very nice. Love the fabrics for the finished one and the next.

change the dimensions a little and that would be a nice laptop carrier as well. Good job!

What a cute purse. I love the fabrics you picked out for the next one. Great job and thanks for sharing.

You did a very good job!! I love the fabric in both!

Very nice bag! And I love the fabrics for both of them.

Very nice handbag! You did a great job. Love your fabric choices for this one as well as for the next one. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful fabrics, nice job! The second one will be so much easier.

Each one gets easier ! Love the colors for the next one , well love the colors for the first one also :wink:

I hate zippers, your looks good :thumbup:

Love your purse. Beautiful fabrics.

So pretty!

Very nice.

I like it alot! The zipper looks GREAT! Do you have instructions for the zipper you could share? I have done a few, but wouldn't mind another point of view.

I think it's a great bag - what pattern did you use? I'm in the process of designing a bag for myself... I can't seem to find *the one* lol.

I agree - each purse made gets easier and easier. The last one I made was a bear - I learned A LOT from that one - on what not to do when tweaking patterns lol.

Your purse looks great and I love the fabrics. I have that same machine. It's my workhorse.

Aw, really nice work!
