Inspirations came from seeing several others here. I made the purse smaller. My first mini was still larger than I like my purse to be.
I added the zipper, left off the bows, although I think they're cute, and added D-rings to the handles.

Inside of the modified mini--next one, I'll set my pockets a little deeper.

Yummmm! PURPLE! I like the modifications, too: I also like smaller purses. Good job.

I love this, especially the purples. They look so nice, are you selling them? Very nice job.

No, I won't make purses to sell. I sew for myself and for people that I love. My DD said, "Does that come with sippy pockest on the ends and a shoulder strap?" Even though I love her and often make her things, I'm still working on twin-sized quilts for 2 of her kids. I hope to finish them before the new year.
