Answer 1

I answered that very same question last week, and here's the answer I gave:

All these patterns are free, a couple places require registration and a couple places have slightly sketchy instructions. But at least they are all free!.

http://www.savvyseams.com/bags/ this place has a few nice bags.
http://www.bellaonline.com/subjects/653.asp Bella's page of pattern links, there are a couple bags.
This tote bag is the one that you can buy at grocery stores to carry your groceries. Why not make one instead? http://www.make-it-easy.com/opentot2.html
http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/ this site has a couple free patterns
Here's a very nice shoulder bag pattern and instruction set that's free: http://craftandfabriclinks.com/purse/free_purse_pattern.html
and here's the main site: http://craftandfabriclinks.com/free_sewing_patterns.html
Here's allcrafts sewing patterns page: http://www.allcrafts.net/sewing.htm and there are plenty of patterns to choose from.
And finally the granddaddy of free pattern sites: http://www.freepatterns.com/

Joan Hinds patterns always seem to draw rave reviews:
http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/bags.php I've not sewn with them, so I can't comment, but people I trust say they go together very well.

My single foray into purse making was one of the Ghee's patterns, and it went together well:

If your library has a copy of Nancy Restuccia's book Hold It!, there are some good ideas in there that can be turned into purses, and Nancy writes excellent instructions.
