I searched the internet for a good little purse pattern that I could just throw my keys/phone/wallet in I did not find anything particularly fit the bill so...I took the pleated pouch tutorial from here:
Skip to my Lou Tutorial enlarged the pattern to make the pouch about a 10" zipper length and added an interfaced handle. I have now made 16 of them. We had a couple of birthday parties that needed presents, a teacher, art teacher, dance teacher, and brownie leaders to give end of year gifts to, so it worked out good they are all getting wristlets! Here are a few I have made, some were given before pictures were taken :)
My mom and aunt also stole one, and I think my daughter stole a couple as well....I ordered this fabric just for her though.
and I made a "spider pig" one for my self, though I think I need a few to go with different shoes.
Well that is enough procrastination for now, I have about six quilts that need finishing SOON. Have a wonderful weekend!
Wow! SIXTEEN of them?? So Sarah go!! They are super cute :-)

If you would like to order some buttons I would be happy to custom-make some
for you - even a mystery mix ;-). Because the toadstools seemed to be the most popular I will include
a free toadstool button or toadstool sewing pin (you can choose) with every
order placed until the 15th of June 2011.
Wishing you a great day and hope to "see" you again on my blog sometime!
Love
Ms Muffin
