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!

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.

OU Rag Quilt Purse

I love making these rag purses. So fun and so fast! As I mentioned before, I have had been doing zumbathons around our area to help raise money for great causes. This one was for Adoption. My zumba buddy and I had shirts made that said Adopt on them. I was asked to see if I can make something for the auction beforehand. I said, yes. I love helping in any way I can. I decided on the rag purse. The person who won it, loves it. This was easier to work with than the Bronco bag that I made for my sister. I think its because the wording on it is smaller. Anyhow, after this was completed, I sprayed it a little bit with stiffner to make it form a shape. Worked out great and it sold for $45. Looking forward to making more of these bags. Have a wonderful day.

Bronco Rag Purse

You know how hard it was to make a Bronco bag when I am a Charger Fan...yep, being from San Diego, gotta love my Chargers. Anyhow, my twin sister Connie had sent me this fabric to see if I could create a rag quilt tote bag for an auction that she was having at her work. When I saw the fabric, I thought to myself...this is a big print, don't know about it. But, I made it work anyways. I seem to have trouble estimating the squares by the inches to make bags come out to be tote bags, so we settled on a purse style...gotta read on the instructions more clearly. But I think it came out cute...then I shipped it back to Colorado where my sister lives by Priority Mail...wrong way to send packages, its not a guarantee that it will get there in the 3 days. It took 2 wks...I was upset. My sister had to use something else for the auction and ended up selling this one for $30. What do you think?

Pat's Tote Bag

I have a wonderful and dear friend whom I met through Splitcoaststampers and her name is Pat. She is such a loving, caring, and a very thoughtful person who is trully dedicated to God. She is such a talented artist too. Her SCS gallery is here. I wanted to surprise her with a special gift that she could use to carry her stamping stuff. I made this tote bag from 100% Homespun country fabrics with the inside blocks matching. I also made an inside pocket too. She loved it and was very SURPRISED! Didn't I say, I like making these tote bags? Thanks for stopping by Bonnie's Corner.
