purse emergency

My friend, Iris, had a purse emergency this week. Her purse broke and she needed a new one, with a zipper. The emergency alone would've moved her to the head of the pack, but she pays cash, so that worked too.

Adding a zipper to this style was new for me and I didn't think about the handles until I had the outside done and the zipper in. No way was I going to take that sucker out. I used a couple of "D" rings for the handles.

Fabric is Woodland Delight by Paula Prass.

And, for a little fun, I added a zipper flower.

I've been meaning to try one of these since I saw them on tops in the mall.

Turns out they're super easy. I made it as a pin and pinned it on with a safety pin so she can move it around.

The diaper bag is done. Will post tomorrow!
