In my previous post (here), you can read about my purse issues and what led up to making a purse to test what I need for size and function.
I have finished my 'test' purse, and it seems to function well. Still not the prettiest purse, but that will come when I find the PERFECT purse to purchase.

The outside pocket works really well for the two main necessities in my life - chap stick and a cell phone.
Even though I rarely have cash on me, an inside zipper pocket will function when I do.
I made a small pouch to corral all of the little stuff that I do not need everyday. It fits nicely in the bottom of the purse.
The purse ended up being 9" wide x 7' high x 2" deep, and holds all of this stuff with room to spare. For aesthetic reasons, I probably should have inserted a 7" zipper instead of a 9" one, and then squared off the top corners of the purse. Possibly that would have been too small an opening to function well, however. Good thing I'm not going into purse production!
Now that I am sure of size and function, I'm ready to go out shopping again for that PERFECT purse. I'm confident enough now that I may even raise my budget to get my forever purse!!
