Cradle Purse

Do you remember the cradle purses of the 70's? Created with the dishsoap base, giving it a sturdy bottom? I have brought that pattern to the 21st century. Created easily using a Glad or container. Created using Bernat Baby Coordinates, that is a soft sparkly yarn, but can be created using any medium weight yarn.
