This one is mine. The colors are just a little more vibrant than they are showing here. I used the large pattern version which the designer, Janice Pope, describes as volleyball size. I also used flap 'B' with a magnet closure. One side of the magnet (female side) is on the outside pocket which is under the flap. She has you place the divided pocket on the inside of the front. I chose to put the inside pocket on the backside to help balance the purse.
They take more than 2 hours, but that's ok. I think another one in a smaller size I could now knock out in 2 hours - maybe. Hope you like them.
This is the lining which is the same print as the outside of my Mom's.
This is my Mom's purse. It's nice and springy. Evan, my grandson, helped pick out the button. He was pretty emphatic - "The black one Mawma" (even though it's brown).
Here is the lining on my Mom's purse. I liked her lining a lot. She chose a simple print. I made her a divided pocket for the inside too. The pattern does not say to sew it to the lining to divide it in half but I did for both of them to help contain items.
They take more than 2 hours, but that's ok. I think another one in a smaller size I could now knock out in 2 hours - maybe. Hope you like them.Marsha

Like them? I LOVE them and, happily, I have this pattern although I haven't tried it yet.
I don't think I could do one in two hours though.
Lovely fabrics and great job on the sewing.

Oh Marsha, these bags are fantastic. As they are so fast to finish, this pattern is definitely one for me. Could you, please, tell me where I can buy it?
