Feeling somewhat like a “one trick (sewing) pony,” I’ve continued to experiment with designing and making various types of purses, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing with all the fun fabrics and bright, colorful linings. \u00a0I\u00a0plan to start selling these before too long,\u00a0but so far all of these “first generation” purses have been given as gifts to family members and friends.<\/p>\n

In exchange for the purse, each friend has agreed to be\u00a0a “product tester.” \u00a0They will make sure that the strap length is correct and that the sewn-on D-rings stand up to regular use. I want to make sure that everything works correctly before offering them for sale!<\/p>\n

These\u00a0are\u00a0so, so cute–and functional, too! \u00a0Each one has a front zippered pocket and a top zippered pocket. \u00a0They are approximately 8″ high x 6″ wide, with 42-44″ straps. \u00a0Plenty of room inside for a phone, keys, cards and cash, and the quilting offers padding and protection.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, my cousin asked me to make a cross body bag for her out of an old pair of her jeans. \u00a0This posed some extra challenges (who knew that jeans pockets aren’t symmetrical?!), so\u00a0I’ll explore this idea further. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

This purse (measuring approximately 12″ wide at the top, 10″ wide at the bottom and a little over 2″ from front to back due to the boxed corners), has a large front zippered pocket, a recessed top zipper and another zippered pocket inside. \u00a0It was donated to Siamese Rescue for their silent auction fundraiser on December 12, 2015.<\/p>\n

I absolutely LOVE these fun and colorful cat-themed fabrics!<\/p>\n
