A New Purse

I love getting a new purse.  Unfortunately it had been a very long while since I got one.  I decided that I would try making myself one.  I searched online for some different patterns, but couldn't find what I was looking for.  One day while I was at Jo Ann's, I started going through the pattern books.  I found exactly what I wanted.  Then I had to decide on the fabric I wanted.  That was when I made one of my newest and favorite discoveries...I can buy fabric on Etsy.  As soon as it arrived I started working on my new purse.  I was a little nervous because it had some somewhat complicated steps.  I read and reread the instructions many times and took my time.  I love the way it turned out.  I get so excited to go somewhere and take my new purse.

It has a small zippered pocket inside.  If I make another one, I will add some more pockets.  It's large, so I can carry a lot, but things get lost in the bottom.
