We all have two sides to our personalities: a wild and crazy side and a quiet, thoughtful side—don't we? Make both sides happy with this supercute reversible slouch bag. Use an unexpected combination of colors and prints on one side for a bold look and a subtle mix of fabrics on the other side for a more sedate look. Simply flip the bag inside out when you want to change the side of your personality that's on display.

      Pretty Little Bag with potential

    I thought the instructions on cutting out the pieces for the button tabs and the interfacing were confusing I bought the recommended interfacing and still ran short. You only needed to make the 3 flaps and I made 4. I found the length of the straps to be to short. The purse hangs too high if I place on my shoulder. I like the look of the button closer but the purse is a bit difficult to get into when having to unbutton. I had a terrible time getting the bottom piece to fit in as well. Least to say, The purse came out okay but I don't like it and I will not use it.

    This bag came together easily. Fun and pleasant to sew.
    Love the bag. The shape and strap length are perfect. I usually have lots od trouble keeping bag scraps on my shoulder, but this works well.

    Love the easy to follow instructions and the versatility this bag gives me. Can't wait to make another one! Only one problem----my indecisiveness as to which side to use when I carry it!

      Very cute and easy purse!
    Reviewed by Charlotte Moody on 08/10/2014
    I love this purse. It was very easy to make. My first! I found the extra firm interfacing a little tough to manipulate, but the purse needs the backing. I think the directions for the button tab is backwards. Need to check that.
