Measure Here...Cut Down There

So for the past week or so I've been perfecting my pattern process in order to make the most fabulous purses mankind has ever seen (Read: My mother). But the reality of situation is that sometimes things that work out perfectly in your mind gets all warped when it hits the real world.
But I am pleased to report that after fiddling with the patterns I bought from this wonderful Etsy seller http://www.etsy.com/shop/whilebabynaps , and making a few purses (yet to be unveiled) I got up the courage to make my own pattern.

Here is one of the patterns I bought. It makes a coin purse. So cute!




And here is a peek into my pattern making process. My measuring tape got a workout. Thanks to Dev and Enrique for holding down my mental while I experimented with seam allowances and perfecting the shape for the rounded frame.




Now the true test is cutting out the pattern on fabric, sewing it up and fitting it into the round frame. Eeep!
If all goes well look out for a slew of those coin purses in my upcoming Etsy shop.
I'll keep you guys updated and post pics (good and bad)soon.
