I love the combination of fun and fancy, so this toile is perfect! The Star Wars Toile from Knitorious is one of my favorite inspired fabrics.

The Connie Wristlet is a fun little bag with so many pockets! I don't get as many requests to make this pattern, so I always have to spend time remembering which pieces go where. It's important to have the right inside and outside ones, since you are making essentially 3 pouches but nesting them inside/together and end up with lots of compartments!

| So many pockets! |
The outside zipper keeps everything contained, but inside are 2 big compartments, plus a middle zipper pocket (extra secure!) and then 2 smaller slip pockets between the zipper and the bigger pockets.

| You can see the 3 'pieces' here a little better |
For fabric this fancy, I went with a pretty gold hardware finish. I rarely use gold just because when I first started it was really hard to find all the pieces in the same gold finish and it seemed to be less durable than the silver. Now there are a TON of places selling hardware and they have a wide variety of pieces so I can order all the stuff I need from one place so it matches. I just don't have the room to keep every color and every piece in stock, so I seem to use silver and rainbow finishes the most.

The lining fabric is an awesome Porgs in costumes custom fabric that just makes me laugh! Porg in a metal bikini? Yes please!
 |
| It's really hard to get a picture of the inside fabric since it's so small... |
I really need to make a bigger purse with this fabric to show off more of the great images!
