I finished Mom's purse. It looks better in person than in the picture. There is a flap to fasten it- with velcro so it is easy for her.
The design on the back is a little different. Since yellow is a favorite color of hers, I used more of it.
And inside it is lined with a lighter grey and has two contrasting pockets - all the better to be easier to see inside.
I hope she likes it.

Don't worry- moms like anything you make for them no matter how old you are.
Yes, I should know that. Ha ha.
The picture makes it look a bit "wonky" but it isn't. I did sew one of the inside pockets at an angle though.
This is great! Are you using a purse pattern or creating your own?
I kinda made it up as I went. I had bought a purse pattern, looked at the instructions and said "Too complicated!" So, I just made it my way. Which is far more fun, AND more rewarding when you finish.
You did this without a pattern! WOW, you are GOOD. :) Beautiful. I bet she went crazy over it.
Actually it is easier (for me) to make it without a pattern. I can change my mind as I go and have fun with it. If I use a pattern, I feel "locked in" and it seems like work.
I credit my maternal Grandmother for that. She never used a pattern for anything - she couldn't read so it was a moot point with her.
I am also working on an art doll. I used a pattern but then I changed it some. I suppose I am a non-conformist. Ha ha.
Very neat purse, and great that you did it without any pattern at all!
