Some purses I made a while back. This first one was for a friend of mine, and you can see her fine self modeling it in the last couple pictures. The second one is mine and it took quite a beating when I used it to haul my camera stuff around in Japan so I figured I'd document it before it totally falls apart.



















The two purses were made from the same pattern (which I made using a purse that a friend of mine had, the shape of which I really liked) so they're quite similar. Both have a small internal pocket and a larger side pocket/space that can be snapped closed.





Overall I think these turned out well, though I'm still looking for a better way to hide the ends of the zipper that fold into the bag, because they're pretty visible when it's unzipped. And I need to remember to put interfacing in with the snaps; I barely use the snaps in my bag because I'm paranoid they will rip through the thin lining fabric. Mmm, yep. I think that's about it.

  1. I LOVE that bag. I use it all the time (like right now), because it is beautiful and quirky and works great. I am always bragging to people how good you are at sewing and all the tiny details you put in it.

  2. I was browsing your blog and stumbled upon this post! I wanted to say that the bag you made for Laura is most creative - there are terrific details like the blue tags and the owl print inside. Keep it up - you have a great talent for these!
