That's a BIG purse!


I was at Hobby Lobby a week ago and they had McCall's and Simplicity patterns on sale for .99 cents each!! Score!! Being that there was a limit of only 10, I immediately starting scouring the patterns, looking for different project ideas! I came across Sewing Patterns : Simplicity Patterns : Bags, Purses, Handbags" pattern and decided to go with the pattern 'D'.

Also, while I was there I found this zebra corduroy on sale! I had a lot of fun working on this purse, sneaking in a little time here and there over the 4th of July weekend. Just as I was finishing up this purse, my husband walks in and says "That's a big purse!" It is a big bag, but I love it. I have two little ones in diapers but it still fits everything a mom on the go could ask for. I much prefer keeping it simple with one bag (versus my own bag and a diaper bag). This way, when I'm out and about I can throw in my wallet, a few diapers, wipes and a spare baby outfit! Even if you don't need it for little ones, this bag is way cute to put all your girl stuff in!

I need to add a button, but other then that it is done. I added a no-sew fabric rosette in about five minutes using scrap lining material (just pin it on!). Wanna change the look? Change the color of the rosette!
