Looking for a particular drawstring purse..

Most of the time i'm successful, but my SIS is looking to make a drawstring purse.. I know I made one a while back,, and found the tute on the net.. It's an origami style pouch.. I think it was made with 2 squares stitched RST.. turned, then somehow the corners folded "in",, it was stitched a certain way, a casing at the top,,,,BUT t resulted in having inside pockets.... does anyone have input that might help?... I hate when I can't find something I know I found once before...:icon_heh: thanks for any help!!

Free pursepatterns.com has some cute ones..a few at pursepatterns.com also. Good luck !

The Gourmet Quilter has one. I'll be darned if I can get the link though.

Ah ha! Think I found it

That is exactly what it is!! Done by a lady w/a funny accent, maybe British, but I have no clue. Did I mention I'm really tired today? I woke up at 0330 and couldn't go back to sleep!!! Now I am at work till 1500......I may die!

Lotus bag????????

I did find those 2,,, thank you,,, but this one is a little different.. there are only 4 "points" I think... and I think it may have been from a Japanese designer.. thanks gals... I don't feel so bad now,, if you gals came up with the same thing that I did...:) I suppose now I have to dig thru the millions of "saved" blogs, and PDF's loading up the puter....:lol:

I think these two might be the same bag, not sure.

I'm not any more awake than I was earlier, but you know that little lady (I will refrain from saying old) who shows how to sew borders around blocks? If you can remember her name, I am pretty sure she is the one who makes that purse.

I came across those too. I'm getting that roller derby fabric and this one would be a cute side to go with the tote I'm going to make.

These two sites show a drawstring bag with two triangle type pockets, is this what you are looking for?
