Actually, it is my own pattern, they all are. I have put zippers in them before, but mostly I use magnetic snaps. I'll post a few pictures of the inside just as soon as it lets me post them.
Sharon,
I do not have co-workers, as I am self-employed. LOL. I have quite a few repeat customers and many many new customers that were referred to me by the repeats and also just other people who have seen my purses. I hadn't planned on selling them until people kept asking everytime I carried them, so of course, I couldn't keep these to myself. LOL. 8) I had my first purse party and sold quite a few purses and scheduled 2 other purse parties for the Fall.
I am working on some purses for the fall, but first I have to get my current orders finished. LOL. Wal-Mart has some very cute fabrics out right now that I just "had to have" lol, so hopefully, I'll have those finished before long.
I have sold a few on ebay. I am working on getting a website up and running just for my purses. I also make candles and jewelry along with many other things. As soon as it is up, I'll post it on here.
I line each of them with batting. At first, I had been putting a full lining inside rather than sewing each block individually like a rag quilt. I'll post pics of both. I also put pockets with velcro on the inside and out.
Ruth, what exactly do you mean about finishing the top? Do you mean the handles or the snap or what? sorry..it's late and my brain isn't with me right now.

Here's two purses with zippers that I made for one of my friends' twin daughters! One is Hello Kitty and the other is Tinkerbell!
