I just love this little crazy quilt purse from Kreative Kiwi. It is done with 3 panels for each side and the panels are connected in the hoop. It comes in a 5x7 and 6x10 size, but I am limited to making the 5x7 size. Finished Size – 5X7 Hoop – Width 10.5-inch Height 6.5 inch. For the handles I used an old braided belt that I picked up at a thrift store because I knew I would have a use for it someday. I may still add some kind of closure but I don't know what I want. Maybe just a Kam snap. The pattern only used the patchwork on one side but I made two panels so front and back both look the same. For the bottom I used a stippling pattern from my files to make the bottom quilted too. The pattern for the lining does not include pockets but I need pockets so I added two pockets to the inside.

This purse you'd made looks lovely& these colors are so delightful. together too. Thanks for sharing it& the site info as well.

I come from a very large family and we learned how to recycle long before it was fashionable. For me it has been a way of life. I am the oldest in my family but I had two cousins that were older than me. I would be so excited when they got a new dress because in a few years it would be mine.

I think families had to recycle after the war because things were in short supply.I use to go through my cousins clothes to see what I would get in a few years time.Also the full skirts of my mothers frocks were turned into dresses for me by my grandmother.

Excellent work!!!Awesome design...Gorgeous

A terrific purse, love the colour combinations. Well done. Sandra.

Love this purse. Great choice of colors.

It's turned out beautifully Teresa. I love crazy patchwork patterns - you've nailed this one. I like pockets inside bags too and wish I'd done them in the ones I made for the ladies last year. Love Chris

Love the colors and the bag turned out great!

nicely done, love your colors

Love your bag well done

Sieht sehr schön aus👍👍👍

Lovely bag and lovely fabric choice. Great idea to make two fronts and add a quilted bottom. I too have some belts saved for a project like this.

It is wonderful and has so many good ideas. I like the idea of a quilted bottom if not vinyl.

Great bag and very good choice of fabrics.

One lovely bag for sure hugs

Lovely! Great minds think alike on handles.

Sometimes I find ugly purses in the bargain bin at the thrift store that has neat hardware on them so I get them and remove the hardware for a someday project.
