Patchwork in this one is made from scraps of lightweight denims, left over from when my DGKs were toddlers.

Doreen it's beautiful. I love denims.You did a great job. Juno

Oh, splendid! I really like that one, Doreen. I'm sure I could give it a loving home... ;)

Doreen that's just beautiful!! Like Juno, I love denim too, which reminds me I need to make a new band for my denim watch...the old one is looking a bit shabby.

Beautiful bag and looks like something all of us want/need. Emily

Oooooooh, I like this!!! Great job, looks very professional. Wish my sewing skills were as polished.

Thanks, Juno. I just about live in jeans, so it would be accurate to say I love denims too. :)

But but but...I already packed it up with all my stuff. You wouldn't want me to have to undo all this, would you?...Wallet, keys, comb, lipstick. In the inside pockets: a pad of post-its, two pens, lockbox key, retractable measuring tape, band-aids, chapstick, tiny tube of hand lotion, artificial tears, nail clippers, nail file, cough drops, dental floss, needle and safety pins.

Which makes me wonder: what do y'all consider necessary in your everyday purse?

Thanks, Judy! And how nice to see a fellow Alabamian in the ng.

Thank you, Bronwyn. Have I ever told you, I love your name?!

Thanks, Emily. I think it'll kind of look OK with most of my errand-running clothes, not that I'm any model of fashion or anything, but one I made previously was not as versatile.

How nice of you to say! I owe it to lots and lots (and lots and lots and lots) of practice.

Oh, OK... But I am very sad! ;)

What do I have in my bag? Hm... Wallet, with cheque book, cards and cash Mobile phone Comb Pen Keys Tissues Bernina multi-tool Umberella (well, this *IS* the UK!) Notebook

And of out for the day I add: Weight Watchers Calculator WW food journal Hubby's Vampire kit & insulin

Love it. What pattern did you use? Or are you clever and make up your own?

That is amazingly beautiful. Darn you, now you have put more recycling ideas into my head. Must make purse. Must make purse. Must make purse :)

That is just adorable! Beautiful work. And I know you will get tons of use out of it. :) Great job

The pattern is Towne Purse, from Lazy Girl Designs. I've used two LGDs patterns and think the directions are clear and well written, although after making the first of six (so far) I tweaked a few steps, as we invariably do. :)
