  Great job and colours;] I want to make this bag, but I don’t have time… even to start:( I’m going to find fitting material, and I want this beautiful purple!

  Thank You for your compliments! The pattern measures 11.5 inches high, and 15 inches wide when it’s laying flat – I would classify it as a ‘normal’ sized purse. I looked at numerous purses online and would find out that they were practically the size of suitcases! – much too big for me. I have enough fabric leftover that I may remake this one – adding more pockets or dividers inside, and making the top a little wider for easier digging! I think the opening is a little small. I wish I could find this color in a stiffer fabric. The polyester is very limp, even though I backed it with fusible interfacing. Good luck!

  I’m thinking of making this bag. Can you tell me how big it is? It’s hard to tell from the photos I’ve looked at. This looks great, I love the two fabrics and how you’ve put them together!

  Purple is my favourite colour – I love this!
