New Grab and Go Jelly Roll Purses

In my last post, I showed a sneak peek
of a recent project,
made with Moda's Summer Breeze fabric line.

As promised, I'm ready to reveal...
a PURSE, constructed from a great pattern



This is not the first time I've made this pattern.
Want to see some old ones I made, long before my blog was even born?

{Of course you do!}


This one was made from Summer Soiree
by Paula Prass.
I've made a lot of purses from this fabric line...
every one was a head-turner.


Here's a bright beauty made with
various lines...Andalucia from Patti Young,
Nicey Jane from Heather Bailey,
and even a bit of Aviary from Joel Dewberry.


This is what's under that cute flap.



I've made some that I don't have photos for,
but here's the last example I can share.
For this one, I chose some
prints from Patisserie by Fig Tree Quilts.


One of my friends ha the Patisserie purse,
and she asked me to make this purse again, 
but a little bit larger,
 so she could carry her new tablet
and a few other key belongings with her.

She fell in love with the Dear Stella prints I showed her,
in navy blue and orange.
The line is called Anchors Aweigh.


I think she's going to love this summer bag,
with its beachy theme. 


I love the sharp navy and white print 
I used for the inside,
called Songbird by Carina Gardner.


The snazzy stripes made a great handle strap!


I love this pattern for all of its
teachable moments.
Because of these bags,
I know how to install magnetic snaps...


create zippered interior pockets...


and make this sweet style of outer pocket.


Oh, and gussets no longer give me headaches!


If you'd like to try purse-making,
this pattern is great for beginners and experts alike!

  1. You taught me how to sew zippered pockets inside bags with your easy-to-do-it Anita Vacation Tote. With all this experience I can see why your pattern was such a dream to follow and make.

  2. "Anchors Aweigh" is simply gorgeous! She will LOVE it!
    This pattern , introduced by you to me, also taught me how to make the inner zippered pocket!

    All of these bags are so beautiful, Amy.
