I have gotten so many compliments on the purse I made a few months ago that I decided to make a pattern for it. Today I made it up in completely different fabrics and took careful notes as I worked. These fabrics are from the “Blossom” line by Urban Chiks for Moda. My daughter suggested the name "The Flora Bag." The bag below is the one I made first, with hand-dyed fabrics. I hope to have the pattern done in a week or so. The purse measures 16" high by 12" wide by 3.5" deep.
