This post is Kim D., you know who you are! My Sis says that you are interested in sewing, and where I find the patterns for the things I sew. She specifically mentioned purses, so I'm going to include a few links I have found. There are so many free patterns and tutorials out there that other people have invented and share. And of course, free is my favorite price! Shown in this picture are some bags I made using a standard bag pattern. I'll include below a few links, and since it sounds like someone might actually be checking out my blog, I'll try to post more often!

Also surf the internet by googling something like free purse sewing tutorial or pattern.
Both of those sites will show some step by step instructions for making a lined, boxed bottom bag like those in my pic. Use cheap fabric and and make sure to get the right interfacings, and be aware that your first bag may not be that hot. But, after a couple of bags, they start looking pretty good! Also, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I'd be glad to try to help.
