I thought I would give you a sneak peek into a purse I made for Linda James. Linda was the door prize winner in a class earlier this year and this was what I made for her:
I learned to make this purse from Lori during one of our Creative Week Adventures. This is where we get together for a week and just create.
Here is a shot peeking down:
See the pretty flower? Anyway, I love this pattern, so a shout out thanks to Lori!
Linda, if you are reading this, I plan to mail it off tomorrow.
So, what creative goodness have you been up to?
Hugs, Carla


Beautiful, bright & cheery fabrics — very cute purse
So beautiful! But everything you do is beautiful!
I love this little purse!
The fabric and braid for the handle that you used are perfect!
Is there pattern information you can share?
I would love to buy the pattern and try it.
It is so cute, and looks relatively easy.
Love those huge grommets!
Hi Carol, yes, this is a beginner’s purse pattern. Unfortunately, there is no formal pattern. Actually, I drew up one to use since I had lost the pattern I made when Lori taught me. I later taught this as a class in my local quilt store many years ago.
Hmmm…. if enough people are interested, and Lori doesn’t mind if I teach it, perhaps I could do an online class in the future. I was thinking I would love to do some online classes down the road on all the crafty projects that I do.
Oh – now that is georgeous…love that fabric too
Oh, if you decide to offer a class, either online or at your LQS, please let me know and I would definitely sign up!
Oh WOW! I love it!!!!! Yahoo!!! Love the flower in the bottom. You always think of the “little things.” Can I put a picture of it on my blog when I get it? Can’t wait. Thank you.
Love that purse, sign me up!
