    I enlarged the reversible purse on Martha Stewart's website at my daughter's request. This is a fast and fabulous gift or item for a craft show. Just download Martha's pattern & enlarge it. I taped 4 pieces of copy paper to make the bigger pattern , and made one strap longer. You put the long strap through the short strap, and wear it on your shoulder or arm. Takes 3/4 yd fabric of 2 pleasing designs and you get enough scraps for 8 7" squares. I use 7" squares for Quilts for Kids. Try it for Mother's Day or for a special graduate or how about (for a change?) you make something for yourself!

    I sent you the pattern. It's really a winner.

    Have you done the zipper rose? Another big hit. Glue gun, long metal zippers

    Would you please tell me how much you enlarged the pattern from the Martha Stewart site?

    Your fabric choices are outstanding! I like your idea:-)

    Thanks....
