As a first attempt I’m really satisfied. The design of this fabric suits the shape of the purse perfectly.
I’m planning to make more purses like this and offer them for sale in my Etsy shop.

As stated in the homepage, this wiki is a place where people can browse through vintage sewing patterns and find usefull informations such as reviews by people who have made the pattern, links to sellers and to blog posts, a wishlist of people who want to buy or trade particular patterns and -really a great feature!- searchable ‘tags’ on patterns (like ‘cocktail’, ‘wrap dress’, ‘peter pan collar’ or whatever).
