This purse is really neat, because I got the fabric for free! I posted an "I want" on freecycle for fabric and a very nice lady called and asked me if I wanted it. I said "SURE!" :)
There is about 15 yards total of this, so I think by the time I use all of it I won't want to see any more toile for a long time! The only flaw is lighter spots in some places because of a bad dye job, but other than that, it's perfect. And there is so much fabric left after cutting around the bad spots, that I have more than enough for whatever I want to sew. Okay, on to the purse.. this pures is really simple. I didn't want to do too much with topstitching and such because I wanted the print to be the focal point, not the stitch work. Four tiny pleats on each side give the purse some poof, and closure is a simply ribbon loop/button that I tend to favor. I hope this purse finds a good home soon, because if it doesn't, it's going to become mine forever!
