I needed a purse. I was tired of switching my wallet, keys, phone, chapstick, etc. from the diaper bag to the black purse to the brown purse, and so on. I wanted something I could carry with the diaper bag when I have my daughter with me and on it's own when I don't need the diaper bag. It needed to hold my large wallet (it holds my checkbook), at a few other essentials mentioned already and it needed to be cute. I finally found a pattern that looked like it would be just the ticket, and it was. I learned some new skills along the way and found that the most difficult part to sew was the optional flower because it is just a bit tedious to cut out 24 individual petal pieces then sew, turn and gather them all together. It turned out well enough for me and I really do love it. I have found that a lot of other people love it as well and so will soon be posting some pre-made purses in my Etsy Shop so keep a look out.
