I have tried and successfully made some purses (such as the Nordstrom-inspired hobo bag), but the patterns always seem to result in pieces that I am unable to use successfully because my iPad which is in its own case NEVER fits right into the purse. On the other hand, I have not found most crocheted iPad holder purses to have the “look” that I like and sometimes the handles sag. So, I created my own pattern and thought I will share.

This purse requires less than 1 skein of the recommended yarn, but could work with any type of yarn you prefer!

It is customizable in many ways. You can always use different yarn, and use snaps or zippers on the top of the liner to make it functional for other items that you like to carry in your purse. I cannot sew, and so making liners is always challenging for me. I have learned that my favorite way to line anything is by using flannel and hand stitching to close the sides. If you can sew, the type and prints of fabrics you can use to finish these purse are amazing!
