Little girls love dressing up like their mamas. And that includes slinging a little purse over their shoulders. Dee from Getting Crafty shows how to make a purse for your little one. I love the flat bow embellishment! Go to the tutorial.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
I wanted to make a purse for my ten month old granddaughter, who drags her mum’s purse everywhere. You made my day. How nice of you to go to the trouble of putting a tutorial on the internet for (ME:)). I want to put a small photo album in it with all the people she knows, along with keys (maybe) with a chewy attachment so she won’t put the keys in her mouth. Don’t know what else. Thanks for a great idea. Gwen
I am 13 and love to sew simple bags and dolls and pillows and toys and clothes on my Singer sewing machine. This was so easy and simple, I made this purse for my 3 year old sister’s birthday last week! It was so easy and fast, I made it as a last-minute gift. Thank you for going through the trouble to put this pattern out there for people like me to use!
