Another Purse

This is another grommet purse by Indygo Junction. It is relatively easy to make and can be finished in a few hours. These fabrics are chocolate browns, light blues, and light pink. There are four different fabrics. I purchased a 1/2 yard of each and really should have purchased one yard of one of them. I had to use two different fabrics and piece together the lining of the purse. I use fusible fleece for the stabilizer. The purse has two layers fused together. Then I just strip piece the body of the purse before stitching each strip 1/4 inch from the seams. Really cute and another great gift.

Grommet Purse

This is one of the hottest items from Indygo Junction. The pattern is called Grids & Grommets (IJ805). My local quilt shop had made this purse and I loved it. So I made one for my DIL's birthday. The fabric is light purples, greens, and a little turquoise green. The purse is stabilized with fusible fleece. The directions are easy to follow. The grommets are easy to put in without any special tool--they just snap together with a little pressure. Grommets come in two sizes and several colors. Sometimes grommets are hard to find. Overbrook Quilt Connection has a good supply right now. The purse pattern has a small size like this one and a large one. I also made an eyeglass case and a credit card holder from the fabrics to accessorize the purse.

The local quilt shop owner called Indygo Junction today about an order and was told that 900 of these patterns arrived in the warehouse today. But 875 are already spoken for. So this is a hot seller.
