Some Sewing!

So my first sewing course has finished and I decided on the weekend to try a sewing project on my own. Introducing my first purse!

The pattern is Amy Butler's "In Town" bag, which I modified to use a magnetic clasp. I'm so pleased with how this turned out. It even has a lining with pockets!

Even using the heavyweight interfacing, the purse is a little floppy. I'm thinking that I will have to find something a little stiffer when I make another one. One other thing I would change would be to use an iron on interfacing instead of a sew in one. I will definitely be making more of these!
