Work in Progress Wednesday - Lovely Gathered Purse

I've taken a little break from my "deadline" sewing. Well...at least the deadlines I have set for myself- Finishing my Anna Blouse Pattern (release in January!) and the last block in my Vintage Block Quilt Along.
As well as a few blocks for the Cocorico Bee.

This little number - I'm calling it the "Lovely Gathered Purse" has been in my sketch book for ages and when I found this fabric I knew I had to make it.
The zippers are a perfect match to the metallic dot print. The fabrics are from Daiwabo and I love the simplicity and modern feel of the fabrics. The colors are perfect for winter outfits in such pretty metallics,
and cool wintry shades of silver, gray and blue. I found the fabric at my local Pacific Fabrics. It is also available online too!

This bag is a nice medium size at 11" tall x 11 wide at the top,
and I just cut out a larger "shopper" version today!

I love the inside zipper pocket and it is so easy to install!
