The Crestwood

Hi all!  Quite awhile ago, I made the crestwood purse.  I really enjoyed sewing up this purse, so I decided to make another.  One of the reasons I like this pattern, besides the ruffles of-course, is the use of batting instead of an actual interfacing.   It makes the purse very soft.  I had been staring at two neatly folded fabrics on my ironing board for awhile because they were gorgeous and for that very reason, difficult to cut.  Then I remembered this bag and knew the fabrics would be great for it.

The first purse

The second purse

The second purse was made using Tula Pink fabric. You can find the flower fabric here & the raccoon fabric here.  

The inside of the bag looks like this:
Here you can see the top and side panels as well as the pocket and bottom of the bag. The other side also includes a pocket the same size.

I like both purses, but the second is my favorite right now because I just finished it!
