I made this purse after being inspired by Liz’s wallet tutorial on her blog confessions of a fabricaholic.
I needed a bigger purse and fancied playing with the fabric I bought in Lincoln last week. This is the result. I really like my new purse, although there are a couple of things I would like to improve it’s not bad for a first go!
Heavy weight cotton
Cotton thread
9" zip
Magnetic closure

Thank you, the images were part of the fabric design, I just selected bits of fabric specifically for each bit of the purse.
