Purse- no pattern

[rissykay99.livejournal.com]

So, I've been watching the community and commenting for a while, but this is my first official post.

This weekend I wanted to make a purse but I didn't have a pattern that I wanted to use. (Not to mention I find purse patterns horridly confusing) I decided to make a purse without a pattern, which I haven't done in over ten years.

It's not perfect (and the pictures are off as far as coloring goes), but I'm pretty happy with the results:


Full view- it's the size of a mini tote.


Inside view with the pocket.

I've had this fabric for over a year and finally used it for something. There were a couple little execution issues (I had to hand stitch the sides at the bottom of the bag), but overall I'm pretty please considering I didn't have a pattern.

BTW, by way of introduction I sew, papercraft, and bake. I hope to post more now that I plan to craft more often.

Thanks for looking.
