The best place to get (purse) patterns is Ebay.

I dont know about tooling patterns but for over all purse designs Joanns has a huge selection of patterns for purses and grab bags. Now most of these may need some adjustments for leather use but its a start.

I use Ebay to get the model templates so to speak...The carving pattern to me is more or less useless. There is a few of them up there in the "leathercraft" section. Now, be prepared to pay anything from $15 to $75 for them depending on their uniqueness, the most I paid for one set is close to $50, I and some more people really wanted that one.

This is great for toote bags (hope I spelled that one right) but for "real purses" you need the real patterns for them, it's more tricky than one might exspect.

My wife has been wanting me to make her a purse and we've had a tough time finding a pattern too. I've been thinking about taking apart one of her old purses and using it for the pattern. I'm not to sure how well it will work but I think I'm going to give it a try.

If you can twist Bruce Johnson's arm, he is here on the forum, he can provide a book that he done on purse patterns. He may not like that I said that but it is a great book of purse patterns, I feel he should publish. If you hound him I bet he would post a couple here.

What do you say Bruce?

You can self publish and print on your home printer. Print them only when there are orders. I will buy one if you do.

I saw one on Ebay a few weeks ago with some Stohlmans, that was kind of cool. I will find one of the ones I have left and see if we can upload it as a PDF. It might be a day or two.

I have quite a few old tooled purse patterns I found at a garage sale. Some of them are old F O Baird ones. They came on huge sized paper and were in rough shape. I had copies made of the ones that had the most deterioration. The pattern and tooling is on it but not the assembly info. I would say that I have around 25 different style and patterns.

If interested, I could make copies and send to you for costs. Be warned, the big ones cost quite a bit to make copies of. Think it was around $7.00 per sheet a few years ago.
