Today is the day! I added Ursula & Emily Purse to my website for sale. It is almost like delivering a baby, not quite as painful, but pretty exciting. I think it took me about 9 months to get it together too!
I told you a few days ago all about the front of Ursula so now is time for the back. This time with real photographs. The back of Ursula and Emily for that matter, has one large slash pocket all the way across the back of the purse. A perfect place to keep your paperwork and receipts. I am amazed that I can fit everything that I need in this purse. As I mentioned before I usually carry a larger purse, but I think Ursula (my friend) is on to something here liking a small purse. I don’t seem to throw extra junk into my purse anymore and I am more organized. Inside the purse there is another zipper pocket with a small patch pocket in front of it. On the other side there is a large patch pocket that can be divided into 2 or 3 smaller pockets. That makes this a small purse with 8-10 total pockets (depending how you divide them)! I think that’s very exciting!
Emily, is Ursula’s alter ego. In real life my friend will use Emily as the name she gives when she is signing in for a restaurant reservation or leaving her name for a food order, because most everyone knows how to spell Emily, but not as many know how to spell Ursula. As far as the purses go, the only difference between Ursula and Emily is the handle choice. Emily has two shorter handbag handles, while Ursula has one long adjustable one.
If you have read this all the way through, you deserve a prize. If you order Ursula and Emily before May 15th, 2011, I will include 3 free notions, 1 magnetic snap (your choice of color), 1 vinyl pocket and 1 buckle. Here is the catch… since I don’t know how to add a special discount code to my website, you will need to type in the comment section at checkout, “FREE NOTIONS”, and then tell me what color magnetic snap you would like.
Tell me what you think of Ursula & Emily!
Oh…love your bags!
Have the magnetic snaps ever demagnetized your credit cards? I bought the perfect purse once and lost all my credit cards when the magnetic strip demagnetized them. Had to get them all replaced. Returned the purse and have never bought one with a magnet closing on it again!
Love the sound of the Ursula and Emily bag and may yet order the pattern.
Friends have made the Professional Tote and just loved it.
I have never had a problem with magnetic snaps before, but you can always use a strip of velcro instead of the snap if you are concerned about it.
I love your purse and purchased the pattern but I am confused over some of the directions. I’ve cut my main cloth to 27″ and fused the interfacing (27 by 20 high to the back. Re folded the material as it came off the bolt and I’m ready to cut the cloth into strips and then sub divide that. My question is the interfacing is 20″ high. When I go to sub divide (let’s say the 5 inch strip). The bottom panel and the patch pocket will have interfacing the credit card cover will have partial interfacing and the front section with zipper will have no interfacing. What have I done wrong? How am I misinterpreting?
Micki, The interfacing you are using is not Decor Bond by Pellon if it is only 20″ wide. Decor Bond #809 by Pellon is 44″ wide and will cover the width of the fabric. You will just need to purchase more of the interfacing that you have already used and cut the interfacing again. Fuse the new interfacing to the rest of the fabric and you are good to go. Laura
Got it! Thanks a lot again for heilnpg me out!
