Cutie Patootie Purse

Well it has been a little while since I have posted anything thing, so sorry about the delay. I have been super busy with crafts and have tons to share with you. So to get right to the point. Today I am sharing this adorable purse for you. The great thing about this is you can adjust the pattern to make it as big or as little as you like. This one I made for my daughter to hold her PSP and DS. She loves it! I am in the process of making one for myself using lovely browns and creams and am adding a lining to it. I will post it once I am finished and do another pattern to go over making the lining and attaching it. But for now enjoy this lovely little handbag and Please if you create one Send me a pic I would love to see you work!
