I made a couple of purses for gifts recently. One is made from upholstery scraps and the other one is made from jean scraps with machine embroidery on it.

Those are really neat....love them.

Those are so cute. Love the snowmen!:)

:thumbup: :D neat bags!!

Very nice. I need something new to make. I'm tired of the Bow Tucks. You did a nice job. :thumbup:

those are really cute!

Really nice purses. The upholstery fabric looks great.

They are both great, but I love the second one!!!!

Those are so cute. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Great purses. Job well done!

Great bags. Any I make just look cheesy. Yours are professional looking.

Awe, these are adorable!

Thank you all for your kind comments :-)
The pattern wasn't really written very well (IMHO) but was really easy once you get in to it. The upholstery material purse was my first ever purse. This may give me confidence to try a different pattern next time.

Really Cute purses!! I just got to learn to make one!!!! Oh-and Dingle---I LOVE your boxer in your avitar-I have one too, so does my son, my sister, and my nephew!

really cute love them both

How cute ... the size looks perfect, too!

Very nice!

WOW! Those are nice! I really like the upholstry one=looks classy. The denim one looks fun for the casual days.

Both are very pretty!

Sharon! For Heaven's sake you are burning the midnight oil aren't you? You are making such nice projects! I love your patchwork purses a lot!

Just wanted to say, very cute boxer.

Those are really cute! Great job! :thumbup:

Oh I love the denim one. Which pattern did you use? I did to buy it and make one.

Great bags!!

Love how you embroidered on it. Really cute.

I Really Love Them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bopeep

I really like your bags, what a cute design. Good job.

Like I said earlier I don't feel the instructions are great but I believe anyone that has sewn can figure them out. The purse is basically made from 17, 5 1/2" squares and if you see the pattern I changed the straps from 2 to one.
The pattern is called "The Cross Town Carry" Maggie's Bag. The pattern is by Marlous Designs and I bought it at the Engine House Quilt Shop in Berne, Indiana. I have web sites for the pattern and the quilt shop but not sure if I am allowed to post them? If you would like that info pm me.
Thanks everyone for your interest and kind comments.

:)

I LOVE them!! That is a very attractive pattern :D:D:D

You are allowed to post the links to the site, shop itself, pattern :D:D:D

They are both cute, but really love the brown one.
