Pat, I would really appreciate the pattern. To those that have asked, no, I haven't found a pattern yet. I did buy a purse at the Dallas quilt show last weekend from the lady with Calico Junction. I've been trying to figure out how to take a regular purse pattern and adapt it for a carry purse. Pat, I am looking forward to seeing what you have come up with. I like what I see!! :thumbup:

My adaptations are adding 3" to both height and width, leaving the top piece open (I put piping around the top area and added a magnetic snap). For the front pocket I made 2 pieces the size of the front pattern up to the yoke. I put thin batting under the outer piece and quilted then decided on the curve I wanted for the pockets. I added piping around the pocket curves. Then I put the pocket lining on and basted the pocket to the front of the purse. After that I followed the pattern for construction, except I used 2 straps.
The way I left the sides of the yoke open it all folds back for a much bigger opening to access the interior of the bag. The pocket is one big area that goes to the bottom seam and to the side seams.
Hope this makes sense since I "just do it" when constructing bags. I rarely make 2 bags the same way.

Please add me to the list for a pattern!!
DH bought me a leather CC bag and it is sooo stiff and bulky!
I don't dare tell me I don't want to carry it!!
This is a pattern of my own design that my friend laughingly calls my concealed carry purse. The pocket goes clear to the bottom of the front panel and all the way across. I drew a gentle curve for the pockets. They are a little hard to see but the pocket openings have piping around them. I think this could be adapted to most purse patterns

How big is this? And do you have the pattern?
I'll try to get the info on the pattern for you tomorrow. I made the original pattern bigger.
