Growing up I was taught that you always had a purse to match your shoes which resulted in having a TON of purses and shoes. As I grew older I stopped following that tradition in favor of buying pocketbooks and shoes I really liked. It didn't matter to me whether the purse matched the shoes, etc. Just that the purse and shoes had to match the use, occasion and, if need be, the outfit.

However, I never stopped loving different kinds of purses and hope you find a purse, handbag, or pocketbook below that you'd like to make. Just click on the link below for the post you want.
