January Purse

I found this pic on a blog (can't remember which one).

I fell in love with this purse and had to make one.  There was not a pattern so I just kind of made it up as I went along.  I actually started to write out a pattern for it, but my ADD kicked in and that never got finished!

The purse itself only took a few days to work up.  The liner I had some challenges with.  I wanted to make sure it was real stiff since the purse was not.  I used 3 layers of fusible webbing on each side.  On the bottom I used fusible webbing on the lining and also added a piece of plastic cut into an oval to make the bottom very firm.

Here is what I came up with.
