Hi! I'm LewDyan's neice. I made a capri sun purse with my best friend and it came out really cute. First you need 11 capri sun pouches (or cool aid) for a small tote size bag. Cut a hole in the bottom of each pouch in order to clean it out. Then you take three pouches and sew them side to side. Repeat this with another three to create the sides of the bag. Sew these two sets of three together using one more pouch in between them. This should make a long line of 8 puches sewn together at the sides. Now take two of the remaining three pouches and sew the top of one to the bottom of the other. Now sew the 8 pouches so they form a rectangle. Sew your two pouches to the bottom of the 8 to make the bottom of your purse. Sew the last capri sun pouch about 2 inches down the middle pouch on the back of the purse. Now sew a big button to the front of the purse. Sew a ribbon into the last pouch so that it can hook over the button, keeping the purse closed. Now you may want to make a lining inside the purse, out of pieces of felt. Finally, choose a fun piece of ribbon and tie it to both ends of the purse as a handle. Ta Da!!!! You now have a beautiful capri sun purse. When I made mine, it took about 2-3 hours with sidetracking and having to figure out how to do it (I didn't have a pattern, I just winged it) Have fun!
