Before Christmas I had cut out several projects out of leather of my hip bag pattern. I didn’t really have recipients in mind until I got around to making them up, so these were the last two I sewed up for my aunt and sister…both for their birthdays. We don’t give Christmas presents to adults […]
I will have to get on those “2018 wrap up” posts, but I am so behind in just posting everything in general. I will sit down next week after the 1st and work on getting caught up on everything. For now…I have a purse! This is my boxy purse that I made taller, so I […]
I spent some time cutting up a bunch of leather and had enough to make four of my small purses. I got two of them finished up, and think that I can successfully put together a tutorial on them. Just as soon as I figure out how to get the pattern pieces into Illustrator. These […]
This is one of those easier to make leather bags. I have made three of these so far. The first two I made were not as wide, and I am having a bit of a problem getting my 5 x 7 journal in it, so I decided to make this one a bit bigger. I […]
On Saturday night we were going to go to a concert to see A Perfect Circle, so I wanted to get a small bag finished up to carry my phone and wallet. I had been meaning to make something like this for awhile now, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. I made […]
In early 2017 I had made a black purse that I loved. After going back home for a benefit (whereby I made two other purses for it) I was offered some moola for my black purse. I knew she really wanted it and would ask me again for it, so I sold it to her. […]
Leather tassels on purses can be a great accent. They can go on the zipper, or just hang off the handle. I also use these for my keys. I tend to have large purses, and it is much easier to find my keys when it is attached to a bit of fringe. This is how […]
As part of the Admin team for Sewing Pattern Testers, I sewed up the free bag designed by Angie Hebert. She wanted one in leather, and having much leather, I complied! I also needed to finish sewing up some small pieces of fabric I was sent by RP Custom Fabrics. These are a small size […]
Purse #2 is DONE! Procrastination is a life skill that I am well acquainted with, so of course, I waited until the last minute to get this done. I wanted to make sure it turned out nice, though, and I think I succeeded. The leathers are both lambskin. The royal blue is an embossed leather, […]
Here is the first bag for the benefit auction in a few weeks. This is my bag pattern that I have been using to make most of my purses. I should maybe make a tutorial or something on it, huh? This one is made of the following: Green pigskin leather Gold lambskin leather Green Bay […]
