My First Handbag & Free Pattern

Have you ever been so anxious or intimidated by a project before?

Well, this was me this week!

Like I said here, patterns and handbags intimidate me.

I have always wanted to make a one, just been to scared to try.

I took a leap of faith this week and tried out this pattern.

I just want to say a big thanks to Sara over at Craft Snob

and Donna from Sewing Mends The Soul for this free pattern.

I was very pleased with this tutorial.
It was very easy to read, I had no problems

following the step-by-step instructions.

If you looking for handbag pattern,  I highly recommend doing this one!

You will be very pleased with the results. I know I was.

Take a look at my

Kennedy Double Pleated Purse

I absolutely love my new bag!


**Fabric from Hancock Fabrics--$2.50 yd
no joke this fabric was on CLEARANCE!**

**I found coordinating fabric to match the inside and top band
also on CLEARANCE for $2.50**

**Bought 2 yards of interfacing at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 yd**

With the help of my MIL we made this amazing handbag.
So many people have told me that it looks like a Vera Bradley.
