They certainly are. I've decided I'm going to increase the size of my next one. I have no idea how big the "normal" size is, but I'll just wing it and see.

Very pretty ... that's my next project too. I've made many of the regular size but thought I would try the mini and use it for a purse for myself. The regular size is just a little too big for me.

I made one too, it's too big for me. What size are the minis? I may try scaling the big one down some.

The mini is the perfect size for me. My shoulder can only handle a small to med. purse. There is a direct factor as to how heavy my purse to it's size. Whatever the size I WILL fill it up. LOL

A regular is 13" wide x 11" tall x 5" deep
A mini is 11" wide x 10 " tall x 5" deep ... not that much smaller really.

Thanks for the measurements. The mini is a better size for me, but I will make mine only 3" or 4" deep; that 5" is too wide across the bottom. Everything will fall to the bottom and get lost. I made my big one with velcro instead of the button and will make the straps just a little longer so I can sling it over my shoulder.
