Jenny purse

    I made the Jenny purse tonight.  It seems to have turned out much smaller than I pictured it or how it looked in the picture.  I do not have a picture of it, but it is about 12" across the bottom and about 8" high.  I love the look but the next one I will make will be larger.  Any ideas?

      I made one awhile back.  I love it, but it is a little small...especially for us moms.  I would also add some kind of closure.  You could probably just print your pattern pieces larger...or trace them exactly the same, but larger.  I've never enlarged a purse pattern before. 

      I would just like to add that I love the style of this purse.  Jana did a great job designing it. 

      Here's a picture of the one that I made:

          I haven't gotten around to making this bag, but here's probably how I would try if I wanted to make it bigger. 

          1) print out new pattern pieces, and cut off the seam allowances. 
          2) enlarge the trimmed pieces (probably via a copy machine) to the size you want 
          3) take the new enlarged pieces and add on the seam allowance.

          Hope that made sense. Smiley
