The Penelope Purse Pattern - Just Released by SewMichelle!

SewMichelle has just released a handy dandy new purse pattern called The Penelope!

The Penelope Purse Pattern  is an easy to make handbag with double pockets on both exterior sides. This bag has a unique shape that expands with snap magnets on each side so that the purse opens for even more room. Inside is a special pleated pocket for your cell phone. The Penelope Purse Pattern can be completed in about 2 and 1/2 hours for an intermediate sewer and finished size is 14"W x 11"H x 4 1/2"D.

My favorite thing about this pattern is the fact that it can expand - make it bigger to carry everything you need or snap the sides together to make it smaller!  Best of all, this purse pattern can be downloaded - order and start sewing today!
