the Penelope purse {off to quilt market}
We’re excited to show you the finished version of our Penelope purse that is headed off to quilt market! The purse is made in Mary McGuire’s Grace fabric line for RJR Fabrics, which is bright and whimsical, and you can read more about Mary’s inspiration here {and see her version of our Jane bag made in the blue colorway of Grace}.
It seemed like it was about time we finished one of our bags with a zipper on top. However, there isn’t any difficult turning required, and it has a great finish.
This is a smaller purse than our usual designs, but it is still has plenty of room and is easy to carry. The strap length can also be adjusted to fit a variety of sizes and comfort preferences.
And here’s a peek at the inside too {though it’s difficult to really get the feel for it through a photo!}. Also, there will be an option to finish the purse without the top zipper, if that is your preference.
We’re also excited that this pattern will be offered as part of a kit by RJR Fabrics. So, if you’re headed to quilt market next weekend {or know someone from your local quilt shop who is}, stop by the RJR Fabrics at booths 632, 728, 732 to check out the actual purse and maybe order some kits too.
We will update our blog with retailers once the kits are available to the public as well.
Well done my friends!
Really cute Jennie, I love the zipper feature and the size is perfect too!!
Love it! You are so very talented 🙂
You always show off your patterns with the most beautiful fabrics.
Such a pretty purse. And the fabric compliments it perfectly.
Very sweet!~ I love the zipper too. It seems like keeping your wallet out of sight is more and more important! Have a happy weekend!
Perfect bag. Always like a top zip.
I love this one. I think I will have to buy the pattern once you’ ve finished and make one for me 🙂
It’s a beautiful bag, Jennie……lovely colours and style, and the kind of practical shape and size that I like to use.
