Molly's Little Niece Purse

I recently visited Hawaii with my entire family, including my two darling nieces. Before I left I made the girls these little beach bags and filled them with fake tattoos and play doh. The play doh ended up all over the grass and the tattoos wore off but the bags actually held together. 

 

If you'd like to make one you can follow along with my project journal, Molly's Little Purses. They are simple and quick to construct and we have the handbag handles in really cute colors. There's even an inside pocket to stash a pretend cell phone (or a small handful of fake tattoos!) Enjoy! --Molly

Pardon my dumb previous question! The fabric is listed on the next page "Molly's Little Purses" with the complete directions. Darling project. Can't wait to get started.

This is a great tutorial! I especially love it since I am *brand new* to sewing! I am moving soon and wanted a new little bag to carry with me on the trip! So thanks a bunch!

What a lovely gift idea! The hand drawn tutorial for it is just too cute. I'm going to make these for all the special little girls in my life this Christmas. This was my first time visiting the Purl Bee and I don't know how I lived this long with out it!!!

The bags look great, what a fantastic idea!!! You definately are a great aunty. I loved tatoos when I was a kid but my mum would never let me have any, I would've loved an aunty like you.
