About a month ago I seen this purse on pintrest. When I clicked on it I was hoping for a free tutorial. I was wrong. This bag is from Vanessa Christenson. The pattern was $7.50. I didn't want to pay that (I'm a cheap-o) so I decided Hey I can make that! So I thought about if for about 2 days and bam I had my pattern cut out! It wasn't that hard at all. The most trouble I had was attaching the top funky wavy part to the main purse. I loved the pattern I picked out. It wasn't on sale so I got it for $6.99 a yard. The inside I really don't like, I just had it laying around and needed a inner liner. But it works.
The main purse is 2 pieces each 12in long x 16in wide. I narrowed it on the way up to the top. So the top part is 12in wide. + Interfacing.
The top frilly ruffled part is 4 pieces 14in wide by 3in long. Then I pinned it into folds to the main part of the purse. I also added interfacing inside.
The straps are 2inx32in.
The "belt loops" are 1inx4in tucked.
The bow which can be also used as a scarf are 1 1/2 fabric squares you buy. I cut them in half then sewed 3 pieces together then sewed them all together.
The inside of the purse is the same length & width of the inside.
These are not great pictures. I had 3min to take them before I had to get the girls from school so my apologies.
I've gotten so many compliments on this bag. I've also actually had a fellow co-worker request me to make one for his girl friend. I had photos but unfortunately I had to reformat my sd card in my cell phone so it's forever lost. It was really cute it had mexican skulls & yoga cats. Ya it was pretty cool.
I know my directions weren't really great. Maybe I'll do a tutorial one day. Who knows. I'm kinda burned out on making purses. I've made 5 lol. Something new is needed. Any ideas?
