One of Deanna’s friends had a birthday party on Saturday and what girl doesn’t like a purse! (Sorry the picture isn’t the greatest, I couldn’t find the camera and had to use my phone!)

This is a messenger bag pattern, I adapted it just a tad, making my own strap out of pink material and I opened it up so you could see what I did on the inside for variety. I did take a close up of it closed, I really like how this turned out! I have another bag cut out and ready to sew up as well.

So the problem I’ve been having is making the bags a bit stiffer. I’ve tried thick, vinyl tablecloths for lining, but it’s not doing what I want. So it hit me yesterday - quilting batting! I have a bunch left over so with a purse I’m going to make today, I’m going to try and use that as the lining. I hope it works! I will post how it goes!
