Everyday Elegance
When I think of everyday elegance, I tend to think of Toile. So why not make a purse out of fabric with a Toile pattern?
Using canvas fabric in Toile, I plan my purse.
Sometimes I take the basic shape from an existing pattern.
For this purse, I used Simplicity 9949.
Instead of using pins, I used canned
food as weights to help me cut out my pattern.
food as weights to help me cut out my pattern.
Here is the basic shape of my purse.
The purse is lined with cotton and I added a plastic bottom.
Here is the inside zippered pocket.
I also added two velcro pockets to the inside.
Finished product!
The purse consists of 9 pockets: 6 pockets on the outside and 3 on the inside.
If you like pockets, then this is the purse for you. If you would like to buy this purse for $55.00 (plus S&H), please contact me.
