Pink Saturday...it's all thanks to YOU

Wooo Hooo! It's Pink Saturday!


I am so excited about my new purse. And, I owe it all to YOU!! A few weeks ago, I showed this as an unfinished project. And, to be quite honest with you, it was filed away in my REJECT pile!! I just couldn't envision a finished result. After posting it for Pink Saturday, I received some wonderful comments encouraging me to finish it....thank you!!

Nancy at lachambrerose.blogspot.com even shared a website with me that had patterns for the "Rag Bags". Of course I bought the pattern. You can see it at : Heather Knitz
The pattern gave some terrific tips and tons of info. Mine isn't exactly like the pattern, so we shall say that it is "inspired" by the pattern.


Ta Da!! Here is the other side:


I've worn it all week and I keep getting compliments....YAY! Just what I needed to feel "springy"!


I put in a green lining with snaps to close it:


And, LOTS of pockets! I even put in a zipper. I learned how to do this at U Handbag.


The handle is some plastic tubing that is in the plumbing section of the hardware store. I simply covered it with fabric. This is my own original idea. It's a very affordable solution to handles.

I love it so much, that I have another one on my needles right now. I'm trying to make this new one more like Heather's....but my projects seem to take on a life of their own, know what I mean?

So, thank you to all of my Pink Saturday blogging friends....thanks to YOU, I have a wonderful new purse!


Now head on over to Beverly's and take the FAMOUS Pink Saturday tour!
