Purse Crazy

I am an addict.  I must admit it.  I get sucked into something and I can't stop,  The only thing that saves me is I am also ADD so I get bored after awhile and move on to some other addiction.  For the past two weeks it was purses.  I wanted to make two purses.  One for Margie and one for me and I wanted to make them using jeans pockets.  But then I wanted to find the perfect purse pattern and had to keep trying new ones.  I still have one more that I want to make but then I will move on to my next obsession - painting.  Or am I just trying to postpone that memoir that I want to write.

Anyway here are the purses I've done so far.

 The last one I did is reversible but too small for what I want.  The final purse I'm going to make is going to be reversible but the size of the other ones.  Not in denim - using some fabric I have left over from other things.

New Purse

I finally finished this purse that I started a year ago.  If I decide to make another purse that I quilt myself I hope I remember that I don't want to.  It's always so much more work than I think it will be.  But I have to admit, I'm happy with the way it came out.  It has lots of pockets inside and out.  They can hold my phone and my iPad even fits in the purse.

New Purse

I finally finished the purse I started a year and a half ago.  Now that I know how to make it  I also know I can do it better the next time.  So whenever I get the chance, I'm going to make another one.  I will quilt it in an easier way than I did this one when I didn't know what I was doing.  I'll also make it wider and have the pockets inside be more functional.
But all in all, I'm happy with the way it came out.  It's light weight and doesn't hurt my shoulder as long as I don't over load it.
