The Lily Pocket Purse Pattern is the newest from Lazy Girl Designs and is available for pre-order with a special label for all pre-orders!   A modest sized shoulder bag, it’s perfect for everyday use with plenty of pockets for everything you need to carry.
Soft curves, pleats and a wide band give this bag a flirty, feminine look. The handle can be made long (42″) or medium (27″) depending on your purse carrying style. Velcro closures are easy to install and easy to use. Joan Hawley promises she made the pattern ”lazy” just like always.
Â
The interior boasts two large pockets, a pen pocket and then lots of extra room because of the pleats.
 Look closely and you’ll get a peek at the label you’ll receive when you order early.
Â
 And two more pockets on the back… one large enough for a cell phone or little notebook, and one that will hold a pen or your lipgloss.
Four fun and fabulous prints are all you need to make the most of Lily.
1/3 yd of two main cover fabrics
1/2 yd handle and pockets
1/4 yd waistband
For a more varied look, use a handful of fat quarters. Keep in mind that you’ll need to piece the handle to the desired length when working with smaller cuts of fabric.
 And remember, all pre-orders receive a 
Lazy Girl Designs woven sew-in designer label. Orders are expected to ship in mid-September. Shipping on this one pattern is only $1.99. So what are you waiting for?! Order now and soon you’ll be running around town in style!

 These four patterns are some of the newest for purses and bags at QuiltersWarehouse.Â
 
Prairie Charm Point is a fun pattern. Done in red, white and blue, the prairie points look like festive bunting.  Using a lower contrast background would tone things down a bit if you aren’t quite in a party mood. The points are also great for displaying decorative pins.
Â
        So cute and so fun you’ll be tempted to make just One More Bag. Foundation piecing makes this one easy. You can “showcase” all your different scraps. Finishes at 8 x 10.5 x 3.5
Â
Erica’s Bag is the first pattern from Purse-O-Nalities of Palm Harbor to feature grommets.  They give a different look, nice and clean, and you see them popping up all over these days.  This bag has a roomy patch pocket on the front, a zipper pocket on the back, and lots of pockets inside.
Â
Â
Maddie’s Bag is easy to make tote (15″ x 12″ x 3.5″) that leaves you with lots of ways to personalize it just for you. The top band is perfect for a bit of embroidery or applique.
Â
Â
These next two aren’t new but they sure are cute! And now is the time to get a jump on them!
The Santa and the Snowman Gift Bags are a clever way to wrap up any little gift…. ingredients for cookies, flavored popcorn, homemade donuts. Use your imagination and have some fun. This could the start of a tradition in your family. Everyone will look forward to their “bag gift” and wonder what surprise is inside!
As you know, there are a gazillion (well maybe just hundreds) more purse and bag patterns to see at QuiltersWarehouse. Happy browsing!

Several new Purse and Bag Patterns have become available the last several weeks. In case you missed them, here they are again all in one place….
Â
 The Juliet Bag Pattern is so very cute in the black and white polka dots fabrics… love it! It would be just as cute with a pink bow and a green bottom, or maybe navy and white.  By Me and My Sisters Designs, it measures 16″ x 25″.
Â
Heidi Lynn’s Honey Tote pattern is designed to use Honey Bun 1.5″ strips. Of course, you can use your scraps or favorite team colors. This bag measures 12.5″ x 14″ and includes instructions for 6 pockets.
Â
Joan Hawley designed the Margo Handbag. Like all the Lazy Girl Design patterns, this one includes lots of pockets… 2 outside and 6 inside. Learn a new technique for installing a zipper – the Dip-Down Zip-Top! Joan’s instructions are always clear and easy, but if you don’t want to use a zipper there’s instructions for completing the bag without one.
Â
The Carolina Carry All is a feminie, flirty purse that measures 15″ x 11″ x 7″ and is just the right size for the Porta Pockets or the Encore Purse Insert. It has two secret hidden pockets inside.
More Bag and Purse Patterns (hundreds more!) can be found at QuiltersWarehouse.Â

Annie’s Bag Purse Pattern is another winning design from Purse-O-Nalities of Palm Harbor. It’s so cute! The pattern has lots of options. The handle can be a standard two strap or a new one strap version. The sides can be cinched in to make the bag look a little smaller and a little bit cuter with bows. You can add a pocket flap, a zipper pocket and customize the interior. Choose one fabric for the entire bag or dress it up with a few of your favorites. Make it your way!
Cruzer & Little Cruzer is a convertible bag that you can use in a variety of ways. It makes a great gym bag, diaper bag, beach bag, overnight bag, or even a purse. The straps are adjustable and convert from a backpack to a shoulder bag. Lots of pockets, both inside and out, help keep everything organized and handy. Choose your size… big or little… or both!
Girly To Go Purse Pattern is from Tiger Lily Press and is aptly named – it’s so “girly” looking! Isn’t that all over ruffly trim pretty? With a little tassle hanging from the front flap and handle bottoms that look like bows, you can’t get much girlier. You get to choose from two styles.
That’s just three new patterns, but there are a gazillion more purse patterns to browse. So, first head over to QuiltersWarehouse on Facebook for your coupon code, and then browse the patterns
