When my dear friend Vickie asked me to sew her a
Tulip Purse with fabrics she purchased from Stash Fabrics,
I wanted to drop everything, run home and get started!

Vickie brought me the entertaining pink flamingos
and the polka dots. Pure happiness, right?!
Because I feel the Tulip Purse is at its best with
at least three fabrics, I found the darker pink fabric
at our local quilt shop,
A Kaleidoscope of Quilts in Little York, NY.

No store bought button here. That sweet little face made
a hand-covered button the only choice!
I love how roomy this bag is! As a knitter, I can tell you
it holds a whole sweater and all of the yarn for the sweater.
The pattern calls for plenty of pockets - excellent!
The bag is available in three sizes, but I love the
Jumbo size so much that it's the one I always return to.
I'm a big fan of the simple-to-sew details
that make the finished product special.
I've made quite a few of these now and have enjoyed
sewing every single one - definitely hand made with Love.
Sending out a great big Thank You to Vickie
for the opportunity to make this for you.
What goes around, comes around. I love you!
Knit on.
Love it! I loved the fabric the day she showed us all - a Florida knitting bag if ever there was one. And - your product perfection to boot. Vickie is sure lucky!
