I had been asked to make a purse for a spouse. I really enjoy make things but this is one of my favorites. I have made a lot in the last couple of years and no two are the same. Each one is unique in their own way. The women receiving them really seem to enjoy the purse/ diaper bag. So lets get started. First get an ODU blouse Decide on what fabric you want. Decide on if it is going to be a purse or a diaper bag. This is so you know how much you will have to cut off. This one is going to be a purse. Then decide how many pockets. This one is going to have one pocket. Add some handles. I used the sleeves from the blouse and the rest of the patriotic fabric And here you have it. A perfect way to support your SAILORS and TROOPS.
