I finally took the plunge and constructed my first purse from some of the beautiful fabrics at Bernina In Stitches. My pattern choice came about due to the need for a 'Purse of the Month' for August. Since this will be my first purse class, I needed something that I could easily teach in 2 hours or so. I had some ideas for patterns, but Carol reeled me in and suggested Anna Maria Horner's Multi-Task Bag. She told me that several customers had asked if we would teach this purse as a class, and from looking at the pattern she thought it would be a good 'first purse' for me to try.
I chose some of Anna Maria's fabrics that we have, brought the new 450 Fashionista sewing machine home for a sleepover, and had this purse completely constructed in about 3 hours (not counting the layout and cutting!). I have to tell you, I have been bitten by the purse bug!
I think I will be able to teach this purse class. Now all I need are some willing participants!
