Ruffle Purse

I finally (finally!) finally finished this purse that I started two years ago.  I pinned on all of those ruffles, sewed about two of them on, and threw it in a box on my shelf and forgot about it.  I had been wondering where all of those pins went...

I tried some new things including a zippered pocket (via this tutorial).  The bag is loosely based on this simple pattern from Crap I've Made.  The ruffles are inspired by this very cute  Bustle Backpack, although I used jersey knit so they won't fray.
