I sat down this morning with some newspaper to make a pattern for a new purse and three hours later I had a finished product. In that three hours I fed three children, broke up fights, got kids drinks, and repeatedly ran Gray to the other end of the house to buy myself a little time before he was unplugging the sewing machine again. I only had to unpick a seam once. It didn't turn out exactly how I pictured it when I was ogling the fabric at the store, but I am VERY pleased with my new purse. And I'm showing it off to you.
TA DA!
I wanted a lining to break up the two toned bag...something that POPS!
I chose this Asian inspired green print for a fun inside...plus it was also on clearance.

You all have permission to be jealous of my mad sewing skills. Now if I could just learn to take a good picture...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
First of all, I can't do anything without a pattern. Second it would have taken me a lot more time than 3 hours. I love it. Are you taking orders?
I LOVE it too!! I am totally jealous of your MAD sewing skills! I wish I knew how, that purse is adorable! I would but it in a store if I saw it. Too Cute!
I meant I would *buy it in a store if I saw it!!
Same here... wow that is awesome. You can put me on the buy list as well :) That is adorable!
LOVE IT... LOVE IT! You are so good. I just dont have an eye for cute fabric. and with your own pattern... TOTALLY JEALOUS!
you ROCK Katie! That is amazing that you finished that purse in 3 hours with kids and no pattern! Its an adorable purse and I would totally buy it! I give you props.
Hideous. Hideous and boring.
Okay, I am completely joking. Its adorable. I have always had the desire to sew but just have never learned. So, Yes, I am jealous of your skills, and your witt, and your beauty, and your house, and your cute IKEA bedspread, and your adorable purse.
Love it! I had no idea you were so crafty:) I might have to give something like this a try when we are freezing and stuck inside this winter.
SO SUPER CUTE! I totally wish I had your skills. I see things so often in the store and don't want to buy it because I think "I could make that." I'm totally kidding myself because I probably couldn't make it... but YOU could.
My girlfriend made me one in about 5 minutes, but so not that cute!! I totally adore that and even more the green print inside. You and Bonnie ought to get together and sell them!! Too cute!!
you amaze me
I want one too please! You could have a little side business lady! Very cute!
wow! the purse is so awesome!!! I love the fabric too! You are so creative!
OK! That's it! I'm very jealous! First off, how in the heck did you do that in 3 hours with 3 boys? And second, I couldn't do that in 3 days with no children around! I love it! I think you should make all your blogging friends one! j/k
I see a Super Saturday project in your very near future....you can do mine as the sample project...=)
Very impressive!!! I love the fabrics!! You do have mad sewing skills & yes I am jealous
I shall be the 17th person to say - Wow girl, you got it, you got the skills! So adorable. Good eye, and great finished product!!
Yep- very jealous- I don't even know how to use a sewing machine at all! That is so cool- I think a lot of people would spend good money on that! I think you've got something!
That is an awesome purse!!! Good for you for just getting up and doing it and yes I'm very jealous of your sewing skills. I still can't sew. Maybe one day! I've tried a few things, but it takes me months. I guess slow still gets me there. Thanks for being an inspiration!
You are too good!!!! And what do you mean learn to take good pictures? They're great. I love the two toned. And I love the outer fabric. And I love the price. Awesome job on such a fast project!!!

You do have mad sewing skills. I was first impressed when you made a formal dress for a dance in your dorm room in college. The purse is super cute. I want one.
So adorable! I am way impressed. You are so talented Katie!
You are so talanted!!! That is all I have to say.
Love the purse. I need one of those. I love your creativeness!
very VERY jealous. That is WAY cute.
And I'm totally amazing by your super sewing powers.

You got some "sweet skills" Katie!! I was just thinking the other day that my purse is outdated and ratty and that I need a new one...hint hint... :) BTW...You and your mom have to look at my blog...there is a post just for you, Katie!
You really made this by yourself without a pattern.. I am so jealous of your sewing skills!!! Some of my sewing projects don't turn out even when I have a pattern.
