Let the Fabric Speak to You

Rarely will flannel ask to be an evening dress or unicorn cotton print be a man's dress shirt. However, maybe they ask to be these things and I am not listening.

When I saw this fabric at the store it YELLED at me, "Transform me into a bag or a purse!" and I listened.

I used the Locked and Loaded Bag pattern from Sew Sweetness.

I love the purse and it was a fairly easy pattern to follow. I had an opportunity to try new techniques; an adjustable strap and a turn clasp. 

The purse, however, is a little larger than I am used to. I may make it again in another fabric and adjust the pattern for a smaller purse.
