A Secret Revealed~

When Jennie of the wonderful team of Clover & Violet asked if I'd do a little bit of pattern testing for them~ I leaped at the chance! :-) I love the challenge of sewing a new pattern!  Jennie and her Mom, Clara are a great team. They design wonderful bags that are stylish and versatile~ and completely machine washable!



As a mom to little ones, Jennie definitely understands the need to be able to wash your purse when a little oops happens. :-)  And she also understands how little time you have to sew when you have little ones. So if you find your time is crunched, but would like to be creative and make yourself a purse~ this is the pattern for you! And you can get started right away with a pdf download from their shop! :-)

The inside features a zipper pocket and an open pocket. The top has the option of a zipper closure, or not.  The zipper insertion was really easy~ so if you have never sewn one before and need a pattern that is easy to understand~ try the Penelope Purse. Seriously~ it is easy. :-)


And just so you don't think I'm saying these things because I was a pattern tester, I'll tell you I'm not. This is my honest opinion and I wasn't compensated for it or asked to write nice things. :-) Its all me! LOL

Until next time,
Happy Quilting!
