| Folded Fat Quarter purses |
My purse camp was in great demand this summer. To accommodate everyone I had an afternoon camp also.
 |
| Showing off their Square Affair purses |
In the camp were four friends, Mallory, Sienna, Ava and Grace. The first day they completed their folded fat quarter bags. Some sewing and origami type folding made a cute drawstring purse.

The second day they were close to finishing their Square Affair purses. Mallory had some difficulties with the cord she had chosen but on the third day we fixed it and called it a 'design opportunity'.

The third day they started on their appliquéd accessory bag. They all quickly got the hang of satin stitching. We got the zipper application started before the end of camp.

The fourth day of camp, poor Mallory was not able to attend as she had hurt her foot. As I was instructing the other girls how to finish their accessory bags, I was writing up directions so that Mallory's grandmother could help her finish her project.

The girls all finished those three purses and had time to make two-fabric drawstring bags. Ava and Sienna chose to make a larger size while Grace opted for a small one. I had them do the math with me and they all turned out the size they wanted except for Ava's. I cut the bottom fabric 1 inch too small so her bag turned out to be a 1/2 inch shorter than she wanted. They still all turned out really cute.
I love to see what fabrics the girls choose and how even though they make the same thing they all look so different.
