I was looking for an easy to make purse pattern that was slouchy. This one definitely is a great slouchy design. I wasn't sure if I would like it though since I've never made a purse without a lining before. But I LOVE it, even more than I thought I would. I used a beautiful cork that has a fantastic backing on it, which just makes the whole thing feel luxurious. I'm not a huge fan of the squared off bottoms, but overall, this is becoming one of my favorites to carry. Great size, easy to make, perfect for adding some bling!
Hi Amy,
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that the Morticia Slouchy Tote exceeded your expectations and became one of your favorite bags to carry.
Your beautiful cork selection is absolutely stunning, and we love that the quality backing gave the bag such a luxurious feel. It's especially encouraging to hear that trying an unlined purse was a positive experience, even though it was something new for you. That's exactly the kind of versatility and ease we hoped this design would offer!
We appreciate your honest feedback about the squared bottom as well. It's always helpful to hear what sewists love most and what design elements they might prefer differently. We're thrilled that the size, slouchy shape, and opportunities for adding a little bling have made this tote such a favorite.
Thank you for choosing our pattern and for taking the time to share your experience. Happy sewing, and enjoy carrying your beautiful Morticia Tote!
