New Purse Pattern Designer Just Added

We are very happy to annouce that we have a new purse pattern designer on board - Quilter By Night!  She has 8 bag patterns, all well written, easy to understand, and with lots of illustrations!  Her speciality is bucket bags and she has designed these patterns as lunch bags, project bags, and even a cute purse with a drawstring top that looks like flower petals!  I love the Go To Market Bucket Bag pattern but my personal favorite is the Flirty Fan Purse Pattern.

Izzy & Ivy - Two New Purse Patterns

We just received 2 new Izzy & Ivy purse patterns - The Petunia and Millie's Market Bag.

Now before you say "not another market bag pattern!" just give this one a look.  What makes it so special is the addition of super cute floppy flower decorations on the front, which give a 3 dimensional affect!  The Millie's Market Bag Pattern is large enough to carry groceries, to use as a beach bag, or to use as a diaper bag and the finished size is a generous 20" W x 15" H x 5" D.

If you like lots of frilly ruffles you will really love the Petunia Purse pattern by Izzy & Ivy which is totally feminine, has comfortable double handles, and a  finished size of 15 1/2" W x 12" H.
