I wear that wool dress so much every winter, yet I still find new ways to coordinate it (most times, I don't take any pictures). Today is too cold for any pretty clothes, though.

Dress: second-hand favorite; Coat: Mary Magdalene; Shawl: thrifted; Hat: Fint; Blouse: old FF21; Boots: Fluevog; Bag: second-hand Axes Femme

UPDATE!

So I'm not dead. I took what I thought would be a weeklong break from social media (it was not a week; try closer to multiple months... oops lol) in order to finish the last few final background tasks for my website and shop. Does it surprise anyone that such an endeavor took wayyyy longer than I was expecting? Yeah, well, it's what I get for doing everything the hard way (from scratch and by myself), but I digress; long story short, my website and shop are officially live! If anyone is interested, you can check it out here: https://pendress.com/. Most importantly, this means I finally have time to start creating again, and that leads me into the topic of my book purse.

Unfortunately, the official book purse pattern is not finished yet. But fear not! Because I was gone for so long and everyone was so excited about this pattern, I put together a free mini template on how I made this purse. It's not perfect by any means, but it is everything I could remember from the first attempt. This means there may be missing steps, and it might be confusing to follow, but I'll answer any questions as clearly as possible if anyone's confused, and I'll hopefully have a more in-depth photo tutorial/video soon.

The official pattern/instructions is still coming, but my goal is to basically give as much of the information as possible away for free so you don't have to buy it in order to make this bag. If you still want to support me by buying the pattern when it does become available, it would be so greatly appreciated (and I will be putting bonus information in the pattern and actual printable pattern pieces so you'll still be getting something extra for the support), but it won't be necessary in order to make this book purse.

Thanks again for all the support on this endeavor!

And now onto the tutorial!

I completely forgot about this but I was cleaning out my closet this morning and come across this book purse I made a few years ago! I still can't believe I made it in the first place but now I really want to made another one.

Anyone interested in a tutorial/pattern??
