While there my mom mentions she wants a new purse. I truly believe my mom has at least a hundred different purses. Not expensive purses, but she likes to switch them out every season. I had a coupon for a buy one get one pattern so she found a simple little bag pattern she liked. I bought the pattern, she bought the fabric and I said I'd put it together for Mother's Day. It's a very inexpensive little bag, and super easy to make. I even put in a hidden magnetic closure-just what she loves about her current purse. The handle and trim is simply a couple yards of bias tape. I would've like to have made my own but 1-this was a much cheaper option and 2-I hate making bias tape. It turned out pretty darn cute if I don't say so myself. There a few things I'd change if I made it again, but overall I'm really happy with it.
Like I said I had a buy one get one free coupon so naturally I had to pick out a second pattern. I actually had no intentions of buying any patterns, but hey, I'm not complaining. I bought a cute purse pattern by Amy Butler. I love her patterns, they are so detailed step by step you'd be a...well, something not very smart if you messed up one of her patterns. I picked out some darling fabric and I can't wait to sew it up. I think I'll wait a bit because I love knowing I have a fun project to work on.
