Halloween Purse

Halloween Purse

Finally! I do decorate my house seasonally and I've been wanting a decoration that I can carry with me all of October. 
I more or less designed the bag as I went, sorry, no pattern!
 

I started by getting out all of my Halloween fabrics (some old some new) and picked out some to make the strata for the hexagon/web on the front. The rest of the bag fabrics were chosen to go with those.

The back has an open pocket. I've had the rat and pumpkin fabric for a while and it's the only fabric here that is truly a Halloween one.

The hexagon/web is a backed pocket with one open side (top side left). Thought I could stick something in there. There is a zipper pocket on the outside. I appliqued little hexagons on the ends of the zipper to hide those bits. Made it really easy to install the zipper that way. I used another hexagon to attach a magnetic closure.

The inside has another zipper pocket for super secret things. Also there is a small elastic topped pocket for a cell phone and a small loop for a pen. Every time I make a purse I think of one more thing I need to put in it. One day I'll make the perfect purse!

Side view. The strap is just folded over and stitched fabric.

One more shot of the front of the bag. 
I'm looking forward to October 1st to start carrying my new purse!
