Addicted to Amy Butler Downtwon Purse!

I forgot to show you the inside of the Amy Butler Downtown purse. Most people use coordinating fabrics from Amy Butler when making her purse patterns.

Of course, I am no exception. I used the full moon in Cherry red as the inside fabric on the flap of the downtown purse.

I also used a snap in place of the Velcro recommended by the Amy Butler Downtown Purse pattern.

Amy Butler Uptown Purse

Ok, made the Amy Butler Uptown purse with some vintage fabric. This is an easy Amy Butelr pattern and much quicker to assemble than the Downtown Amy Butler purse.

So, check out the photos of my Amy Butler Uptown Purse project made with vintage fabric!
