Several months ago I made these bags/purses for the 2011 pay it forward. I made 5 of them and sent them to the first 5 that responded to my post on facebook. I seemed to get pretty good feedback on these bags. They told me they used them as a camera gear bag, book bag, diaper bag, or purse. I loved them, but am horrible about making things for myself. Well, about a month or so ago, I had two weddings to go to (at the same time on the same day) and I needed a purse to match. So - I decided to whip one of these little bags up for myself! I got more compliments on it at both of the weddings and then the next week or so as I took it everywhere I went.
At church, I ran into a friend of mine that liked my purse so much - she wanted one for herself. Since she was my first order of this bag it's named after her: April's purse.
It's about 12in tall x 15in wide (at the base ... it tapers up at the top). The straps are about 9in - just perfect to carry on your arm. I did make one of them with longer straps that you can carry on your shoulder.
Each of these listed below are $12.00 plus tax.
What do you think of them? What about the straps? Do you like them shorter to carry on your arm? Or longer to carry on your shoulder? What would you carry in April's purse?
