New 'Phoebe' purse

I found a really great pattern for a purse online.  I found it at http://www.tipjunkie.com/purse-tutorial/  My purse recently broke at the handle, and it doesn't look repairable at this point.  This  bag pattern is called 'Phoebe.'  I used some decorator weight fabric and used heavy weight iron on pellon on both the outside and the liner.

I deviated from the pattern by adding about an inch at the fold to make the purse wider.  And I added a zipper.  I sewed the zipper onto the lining about 1 1/2 inches below the top selvage before stitching the lining to the outside.  After sewing it in, I folded a small piece of lining over the ends of the zipper to cover the raw edges.

I'm really pleased with this purse and will keep looking for cute purses to make!
