Handbag

I had fun making this bag for the 4th of July Swap on the TOH board. It was a little strange putting together but like everything, once you have made it the first time, it is easier the next. I chose a patriotic type fabric because we were suppose to decorate a bag with our favorite place to vacation. Well, it is my goal to someday take a trip around the states so this fit my theme. :) The inside liner has pockets to help keep things organized. The bag is available HERE. (www.allpeoplequilt.com) Click on pillows and more and then down to purses and the last one, grab bags. It is available in a pdf file. :)

First Handbag

I am so happy with how this turned out! It is a beautiful bag. Being that this was a PDF file pattern, some the directions were clear as mud to me. I had some minor errors that I was able to simply correct and next time, it will go together much faster and easier! This is for my friend Teri for her birthday in August. I am going to make a matching purse organizer to go with. It will match the lining which you can't see here but is just darling! This is definitely ETSY worthy and when I get a couple more under my belt and find the magnetic snaps at a reasonable price, I am going to make some and try to sell. I did purchase the pattern so that I could make and sell. For now they are going to be gifts.
