Another purse - not a zip in sight! While I was pressing the zipped purses, I folded one in half and realised that the shape would lend itself to a purse with a flap. This sent the engineering part of my mind into overdrive and it came up with this. It is made in one hooping, fully lined (no raw edges inside) and took about 5 minutes to stitch out!

What a very nice purse. But how did you make it?? Can you please tell me how??

Very nice for no zipper. Love the size and five mins sew time.

keeps you challenging yourself! way to go!

Sue, I love it more than the once with the zipper.
The same purse, quilted in the hoop, would also be fantastic.
If you like, this could be a new challenge for you ... :)
Love Anabela

Another great idea Sue . Your brain must be in overdrive. Hugs Joyce

Nice design for those that don't want to deal with the zippers.

very nice. give your engineering mind a pat on the back..huggs marian

Une pochette aussi sympathique que pratique. Un grand merci pour le partage. Amitiés de France;

I like very much!

Very nice - is there a zipper across the top?? You make great purses Sue.

No zip this time - just the button.

nice little purse

great job

Great thinking. You are on a roll again. I find the "no additional sewing required" the most challenging part of the engineering process, there's always at least one 2 inch seam to be stitched if I want no seams showing.
Is there anything left for which you haven't made a zipped bag :)
I've used most of my remnants to make either bags/purses or (lately) notebook covers. I now have to progress to larger projects that need fat quarters (the quilter's kind).

This one still has that tiny bit of hand sewing!
I think there are some more possibilities yet.

5 minutes omg thats awesome !!!

Looks sooo cool.
You make nice purses, Sue

Love this one too, Sue...you're in purse mania mode and I love them!

Nice one Sue

Nice...put your thinking cap on...would be fantastic with a zipper across the top for change and maybe a key... and then a credit card flap in front...an all-in-one for on the go...nice job!
