Zebra and Leopard Rag Purse with Coin Purse

I had an order to make for a couple of rag purses with a coin purse to go with. I posted the purses the other day, but I wanted to show you the coin purses I made to match. I had fun making them because it was my first zipper attempt. Granted, it did give me some issues with trying to keep it from catching the fabric but I fixed it. I started out using an 9 inch zipper only because I couldnt find any smaller ones. I cutand inch off and tapered it off with a little trick I learned from a lady on Pinterest. It leaves a nice finish on the zipper to the coin purse. I will come back and adjust this post with better information. Thanks for dropping by.

Leopard Rag Purse

I made this special request rag quilt purse for my friend's daughter. She is 7 yrs old. This purse measures 10X10X2. I made a 5X10 pocket that is on the inside and kept the leopard print as the inside as well. The top middle square is black, but you cant tell in the photo because of the button. Now, I will be making a matching wallet or a change purse to go with this. The more its washed and dried, the more raggedy the purse will be. I sell my little girls rag purses for $30 which are the size of this one, the larger ones (adult size measures 12x12 or bigger are for $35 and up. Let me know if you are interested. This will be a surprise to her daughter. Now, I have to make her sister one.

Zebra Rag Purse

I made this for a friends of mine's daughter for her birthday. She is turning 7. I adjusted the blocks accordingly to make it look more the size of a little girl instead of using larger blocks for an adult. I like the outcome. This measures 10X10 and I made a pocket inside (tidius to do) so she can carry her lipgloss. I loved how it came out and hope she'll enjoy it too. Every little girl at her birthday party loved her purse. Now, I got a few more orders to make more. Whoo Who!

Duck Cloth Zumba Tote Bag

Well, I have decided to make a bigger tote bag for my sister for her Zumba class. This one measures 16x16 and has lots of pockets, inside and out. It has wider straps too. I just love working with Duck Cloth, have you tried it yet? I'm happy with the bag but I am not happy with the wide straps, but it will make do. I added piping to the outside pockets too and made each pocket about 3 1/2 wide. Perfect for her cell phone, keys, and even her water bottle. There are 6 pockets on the inside too. I hope my sister likes this, if not, I can make another one. Have a great day.

Duck Cloth Polka Dot Tote Bg

I saw this cute Duck Cloth fabric at Hobby Lobby but I really had no idea how to work with it. It's simple. It sews really well. I actually wanted to make a tote bag for my sister who started Zumba, so she can keep her towel, water, and keys in it. Well, this one came up a little smaller because I wasnt paying too much attention to where I was cutting, so I accidently cut the wrong fabric piece that was on my cutting table. So this bag will be my model. It's cute though, do you think so?

Starfish Batik Shoulder Purse

One day recently I wanted to make a bag for ME, that's right...ME! I'm always making something for others and never think about me. Why is that? Because I like doing and making things for others. I have always been like that. But there comes a time, where you have to think of yourself also. So I did. I made me a purse. The fabric I used was given to me a long time ago by my mom. I love this print but I really didn't want to cut it up and use it in a quilt. So, I used it to make a purse. This is just a simple roll-up purse. I can put things in it and roll it up if I didnt want to carry it like a shoulder bag. I used the same print as the lining as I did for the outside of the bag. I used a velcor closure as that I'm still learning to add zippers to my purses. I really wish I had more of this fabric but I'm glad that I finally used the fabric. I love it. Do you?

Pink and Brown Paisley Rag Purse

My friend asked me to make a rag purse in these colors for her daughter. But I think I need to make it a little smaller as this one fits my shoulder. Ah well, I love making these so it doesnt matter. I will try and sell this one. I added 6 small pockets on the inside of the bag too. The strap is ragged too. I think it came out cute but wished it was the 10x10 size. The larger ones like this, is 12x12. I like how they wash up, the more dried, the more raggedy they get. Have a wonderful day.
