Pattern Review: Amy Butler's Key Keeper Coin Purse

The Pattern:

I don't often capture the process in my sewing projects, so I smiled when I saw these pictures my good friend Lizzy took and edited for me.  I love that she blurred out the messy background too :), yes, it ALWAYS looks like that.

I've made other bags from Amy Butler patterns and one specifically from her Style Stitches Book.  

I have to say, She gives good directions and though they sometimes seem long, I'd rather be over informed than lost.

I always love the design quality in her bags, they are so cute, but I have noticed (after being informed) that she calls for, what seems like an excess of fabric.  The Perfectly Pleated Clutch I made from her book called for a yard more fabric than I needed, but I've utilized the left overs in lots of scrap buster projects and  that's exactly what this project ended up being.  I used the remains from Juliette's Ruffle Pants to assemble it.

Lizzy and I made them on a whim, so we used what I had.

 Hers turned out unbelievably sweet, but sadly, someone else thought so too, and snagged it.  Guess all you can do is hope they are enjoying it :(

The bag was appropriately labeled "intermediate" in Amy's book. I'm anxious to try some of her others which range from easy all the way to experienced.  This pattern is a definite recommend.
