Tulip purse finished

9 years ago

Here is the Tulip purse I started a couple of weeks ago. The pattern has four sizes - petite, standard, large and jumbo - this one is the standard size. Their description of standard is "melon-size".

Front - it has a flap with a magnetic clasp. There is an exterior pocket the width of the purse:

Back - it also has an exterior pocket the width of the purse:

And the inside. I chose to put pockets on two sides. I also made them deeper than the pattern called for.

I made the straps quite a bit longer than the pattern so I can hang it on my shoulder. They aren't long enough to be cross-body, though.

Yay! I finished something this month!

Very nice pattern, like your fabric choices!

One of these days I'm going to make a purse. It's on the list!

Thanks, everyone! Sharon, the pattern is Two Hour Tulip Purse by Anything But Boring.

It turns out I got a really (I mean REALLY) wimpy magnet clasp from JoAnn's. I'll probably take it off and change to a button closure.

It was easy to make, but the pattern instructions aren't the best. It could use more illustrations, and it seems like they assume you are an experienced sew-er.

Thanks, Donna. I've made a few bags (without patterns) and might take a stab at this one......some day. :-)
