I found this great little project, the cutest little handbag....and best of all it is a free pattern by Rae, on her blog
Made by Rae. She calls it a "Buttercup Bag" It is a perfect size, and easy to make, and quick.
Of course, I always have problems making things just the way they are, so I modified the pattern just a bit ! I added batting to give it a bit more body, and quilted it to the lining:
I also added a zipper instead of the magnetic snap. I am always afraid that things will fall out:
Then, of course, I got a bit carried away .... and made a few more.....OK a lot more!
My daughters seemed quite happy to take a few off my hands though!!
They are such a quick, easy project, and uses fat quarters, so you can really mix and match from your stash -well, from my stash anyway ;-)
Those are gorgeous! hmmm. blog give away perhaps? Quick while there's only a few of us here. : )
ReplyDeleteps - I LOVE your profile pic Flo! It's so fun & free like a butterfly!
mmmm. good idea, except I have given them all away!! Maybe I should get busy and make a couple more!! I have never done a give away before!
