I have made a few purses. I like to make the deli bag by Penny Sturges and I use them for purses, not a lunch bag. I love the pockets in it. I have the bow tucks pattern will make it maybe next week. I have the book of purses totes and bags and made a few out of it. They are so addicting once you get over the initial fright. I will help anyone if I can, if they start and get in to trouble.. You will like to make them once you make one they are like quilting always want to make more! Quilter000
