I pulled these fabrics from my stash based on the color pallet from swap partner. I thought I would make a bag with the wood or plastic handles, but decided against it. In the end, I choose to make a bag using the two bottom prints from the Amy Butler Love collection. I found this pattern (Simplicity 0579) in my stash and decided to modify view D.
Rather than construct it with patchwork in the center, I opted to use one fabric for the entire exterior and another for the lining. To add a bit of contrast and texture, I added a raw edge gathered flower pin with a covered button center.

Here is my Review of the pattern:
Pattern Description:
Multiple Patchwork Purse, make-up bag, key chain
Pattern Sizing:
One size I made view D
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, the shape, but I modified the rest. I did not do patchwork. Instead I used a complete cut of fabric and added a gathered flower pin with a covered button.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I disliked that the lining had to be slip-stitched to the body. It was an unnecessary pain, I think there should be a prettier way to do this; maybe an opening in the bottom lining. It is not a deal breaker though.
Fabric Used:
Cotton fabric from the Amy Butler Love line.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I did not do patchwork. Instead I used a complete cut of fabric and added a gathered flower pin with a covered button.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will. I would.
Conclusion:
Cute Pouch, Easy to sew, I would make again.
Happy Sewing!
