Handbag for Charity
 

I just put the last stitches on this handbag for the Driving for Diabetes auction donation. I hope it sells well.

It has two outside pockets and five pickets on the inside. The key fob is something I always put in my purses, because I love that feature in a bag. The handle is a fake green crocco leather. I hope you girls like it too. This was a first with this pattern, so it went a little on the slow side. Quilting and assembling took a couple days. By the way the fabric is a jacket weight polished cotton.

very nice!!!

Lovely bag ..... lots of handy sized pockets and I love the key fob - great idea. I may just steal that one for when making bags.

I am sure that someone there will want this bag. Hopefully two to up each others bidding. Good Luck.

Great bag! Love the colors you chose. I always like a light colored lining (so I can find stuff in the bottom) I don't include a fob, but I always put a clip for keys in all my purses & totes.
Hope it does great in the auction.

You did a great job! I love it. I need to get brave some day and try a bag...

beautiful bag, it will sell very well.

A wonderful bag with lots of useful pockets. Sure to do very well in raising $$$

Lovely bag, it should do very well!!!!

Neat bag! A great size, and fun extras!

A very pretty bag. I like the light colored inside too.

Very nice bag, and love those pockets.

Really pretty - I'm sure it will sell

Beautifully made - so nice of you to donate it for the cause.

Lovely bag. I looked and looked but I couldn't find the five pickets in the bag. (ha,ha). Even without the pickets I LOVE this bag. I am sure that others will also love it and hopefully bid high. I love a bag that has a lot of pockets.
Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

Great bag. Love the added touch of quilting the pockets prior to placing them inside.

Very nice bag!

great bag.......

Beautiful work.

Thank you all so very much! I appreciate your wonderful comments. I was watching Vera Bradley bags being sold on the shopping channel last night and hopefully this one commands that kind of prices too. LOL!

Love the idea of the key fob. Pretty bag.

That is a beautiful bag and should raise a lot of money for the cause. I love the inner pockets too. Since I began sewing last year I've made all my purses. I'm on the 4th iteration now and finally I have it pretty close to perfect. I love to make my own purse because I can design it to hold exactly the stuff that I carry. It's completely customized to me and me alone!

I was trying to find the name of the bag pattern. Like the bag and am looking for one that has nice inside room. Looks nice.

It should bring in a good $$$$$

Beautiful bag. Love the key fob idea as well.

What is name of the pattern.. I love it..

Hi Girls,
The name of the pattern is #ps033 Islander Bag By Quilts Illustrated. It was designed by Penny Sturges. These are the same people who designed the bow tucks bag and tote. I personally found this one on ebay for a fraction of the normal cost of a pattern, so it was a win win situation. LOL!

I did change out the handle to a purchased fake leather one I liked with the print. I think just little things like that make the bags a little more dressy.

I hope you can find a copy of your own. It is a nice pattern.

Thanks to everyone for their nice comments. I do appreciate it.

Very pretty!! You did a super job!

Great bag, you did a very nice job on it and hope it makes lots of money.

I love your hand bag. Some lucky person is going to enjoy it.

Love it, love it.

Thanks to each and all of you for your nice comments and support.

Very pretty bag. I think it should sell well
