This is the first purse, I made from the swatches. Without sewing the swatches together, this type of purses needs only 3 seams, lining included. If need be, I can show, how to do this.
The 3. picture shows inside out.
The purse has no embroidery, but for the next purses I will do this.

It is the fastest way to make a purse, I know
It looks very pretty! You're going to have lots of fun coming up with goodies to make! What about a patchwork wallet too? I had one on my to do list the past few years. lol! Lots to do when I retire.

Thank you
This is lovely, and it does sound quite easy to do. I like how all the edges are finished off, even on the inside. Makes it look very professional. Well done!!

This looks very professional, would love to know how to make it as I have to make quite a few for a local charitable organisation.

If you have a LARGE hoop you can make them in the hoop and then you only do two seams by machine (the side seams). I did several that way. Here is one. http://youembroidery.com/23602_ith-little-purse-been-playing.html
My way, you can make any sice you want, small purses, marketbags....
How to sew it, you can find there

Many thanks. Shirley
Thanks so much for this good tutorial!!! You have made many happy by sharing!!! JM
These fabrics are strong for making purses. Are you having to use a heavier sewing machine needle?

I used the same needle as allways, the fabric is a chenille.
May be, there is a problem if the fabrics are stronger, then I will use a jeansneedle, but then it will be a bigger problem to sew trough 8 pieces fabric in the part with the foldet bottom.
