Sewing project: Purse 101

I have had a million things on my plate lately, but I did manage to squeeze in some time sewing this week with my daughter Ashley. She and I enjoy doing crafts of any kind together and she's a really quick learner.  Ashley and I took our coupons to the fabric store and chose some cute fabrics.  We made a purse for me and a tote bag for Ashley. I used a really cute pattern from the web. I spend much less money now that I can print patterns on the internet.  I think it turned out really well.   Ashley made the "S"  patch for the front front flap.  I am including the link to the site we found our patterns on.  There are so many, you will have a hard time choosing which one to try first.  Next week we may try making some purse accessories, perhaps a cosmetic bag.  For purse patterns try:

I hope everyone has a wonderful, restful, holiday weekend and God Bless.
