Working on designing a purse pattern for a friend. She's had this awesome little purse for at least a decade but it's starting to fall apart. So she's asked me to use it in the design of a replacement one with some alterations. Call me a geek but it's a fun challenge to draft a new pattern up. So far the prototype looks pretty good. A few problems trying to sew the purse so the inside was as nicely finished as the outside. Looks like I'll need to use bias binding strips to cover the overcast edges on the inside. Pics as I get a little further. If this is a workable purse pattern I'll see about offering it online for those interested.
Have a favorite old purse/handbag that you wish you could have new again? Let me know what makes it so handy, send pictures and some basic measurements. Renee's House of Quilting has dozens and dozens of purse patterns, I'm sure we can find something similar!
