Made this little purse -- an Amy Butler pattern, using garage-sale fabric -- pretty happy with it . . So much so, that I'm making a second one right away (while I still understand how it's made!). Will sell the second at the consignment shop.

I just discovered her stuff this past year and I love it! Your purse is so sweet, I am a sucker for pink flowered chintz type fabrics. You too I guess! Very nice Katie!
with a happy heart |

Oh, that is absolutely breathtaking!! Beautiful colors and the print is scrumptious! I love the way you centered the floral spray on the front...excellent layout of the pattern!! Hurry and make another and show as that one too! And to think it was garage sale fabric!! You lucky girl. Great job.

Thanks for all your lovely comments. Makes me feel happy!
Kristine -- To answer your question -- yes, there are two pockets inside. They measure almost the width of the purse (which is about 10" across), so I topstitched to divide each pocket -- I made one 'pockette' the width of my cell phone.
The lining is gray, and the pockets repeat the exterior fabric. For the second purse I made, I didn't have enough floral fabric for the inside pockets, so those are gray, but topstitched in pink.
I'm into this purse-sewing thing! I have a bigger purse to work on tonight -- large-scale fabric with lilies and lily-of-the-valley on it. Will post when finished. |

Katie,
I have to agree with the ladies, that is an absolutly delightful purse. Hummm, maybe I should pull out some of my old soft-sided purse patterns....infact I have a patteren from the late 60's, {at least I hope I still have it} for a floppy hat....I can just see it now, matching purse & floppy hat,,,,Hey what's old is new again!!! Live & be silly, works for me.
Don't forget to post pic's of your current purse that you are working on.

I love it! The fabric is gorgeous. I am making a crocheted purse right now mostly so that I can work on it easily while we are living in the travel trailer. Hmm I will have to think about making some fabric purses when we get settled in the new house. You have inspired me!!

Oh, lovely job. I love making purses. Love the fabric choice, perfect for spring. I was just thinking I need to make myself a new purse for spring.
