Aprils challenge: I think it was harder to make one for myself sew I had to make one for a friend. This is for me & I have made a few of these already & thanks to the challenge I was able to guilt free make one for me. I used Diana's iris in DBC & Sues bag that I Love for a great wallet with the extra pockets inside. I did make this bigger for a 230 x 230 hoop

ttt for Bev's terrific tip

when you make these purses if you will sew a 0ne inch line on the very top pocket,both sides then you can use them for change, it will not fall out when closed. I hope I make sense. Sew through pocket and outer layer

Love your choice of fabric. Great to make something for yourself. Did you enlarge the purse yourself? Hugs Shirley
