I also added a few more pockets to the design, for my friend. Its got a total of 6 pockets. Two functional pockets from the uniform, 3 total smaller pockets- just right for the cell phone or keys and then the lined zipper pocket inside. Its even got a key ring loop in there.
With the small amount of extra fabric I had left from the 1yard of floral I made a little credit card wallet. Its the first of its kind.
And my favorite picture of the bag: (as if its one of the kids and "oooh, I just love the face its making in this shot." Yeh, I'm kinda into the sewing...)
As soon as the roads are cleared by my favorite Civil Engineeing team, and the snow day is officially over, I'll drop this in the mail. Stay warm!Oh, and if any of you in the blog land are wanting your own purse, please contact me. ~jen~

Great bag and I love that credit card wallet! Barb C
The bag is beautiful, and the credit card wallet is adorable. What a great way to use up old utility uniforms.
LOVE the bag and the credit card wallet. You wouldn't be putting those patterns into your pattern section would you? I'd love to have the pattern to make them for around here--(we live outside of 3 bases--a seabee base, navy base, and air force base). Not that I'd be selling them, but using the old uniforms found in thrift stores to make them for my daughters! LOL

I am the lucky one who received this purse and wallet, and they are beautifully designed and sewn. The strap is so clever because it closes the purse when it's on my arm or when I'm carrying it, but it's also easy to get into when I want. And the wallet is amazing too. I love, love, love them!
:) Thank you, Jen! You're awesome!!
