Actually I think the Rodeo is a little closer in shape/size to the Marketplace handbag. But as I have

not seen the pieces to the Rodeo close up, I'm not sure.

It is just a bit of a thing around 9" tall and has 2 sides and a front and back, rather than just a front and back.

Hey Wolfwomanjo,

Can you share a source for bag and purse patterns? Interested in locating patterns for bag construction with or without tooling also machine sewing vs. hand stitching . Thanks FD.

@wolfwomanjo: The Rodeo is similar to the Marketplace as far as how the top forms up into the handles and it is on a round bottom gusset base. The biggest difference though is that the Rodeo has a very prominent taper from bottom to top (small bottom and large top, I believe it is about a 6" base with the top being almost the same 14" as the Marketplace). I find it difficult to get the Rodeo into the hands of people as they see the loss of space of due to the taper but the Marketplace is a very popular item with me. I even had to make one for my accountant and marketing person (my wife) as she felt she couldn't get the kitchen sink into her other purse. She finally got it with the Marketplace though. Although I use some of the older/Vintage patterns for a base, I design my own accents such as pockets, etc. (we all know that we can't live without all that gadgetry) and for her Marketplace I had to actually make a pocket for her Nook eReader. Oh the joy of making custom items.
