Easy purse or tote pattern

Post by bairdmtn » Mon Feb 23, 2009 4:23 am

I know where to come to when I need advice! Can anyone recommend a purse or bag pattern, that LOOKS hard to make, but really is quite easy? I have purchased a couple of patterns (that are not patterns, just directions) and they are SO complicated that it would take a professional seamstress to de-cipher them! I usually do well with just directions for quilts, but these purse patterns are difficult! If you could post a photo of your finished purse that would be GREAT! Thanks for any and all help!

There are some wonderful free totebag patterns online. I suggest you go to Joan Hawley's Lazy Girl Designs website. She has a couple of free patterns, but she also has video demonstrations on her site and shows step-by-step how to make her totebags.

Also, check out this site. It's loaded with links to tons of totebag pattern sites!

Another good one ...

One more ... this one is called "The Greatest Bag Tutorial Ever" -

Good luck!
