Brocade and Bamboo

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Design Your Own Handbag »

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Romantic


Materials

Upcyled brocade and bamboo handles.

What was your inspiration?

I didn't add many details to this bag because the fabric has so much going on and I wanted it to be the focal point.

What are you most proud of?

The pleats.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Clip the excess fabric off the inside of the pleats to decrease bulk around the top.

I LOVE YOUR PURSE !!!!!!!!!! It is like a longer formal bag and it is can be used everyday. GREAT idea. I have a piece of fabric ( don't we all ) that would be SUPER for this project. Keep up the BEAUTIFUL WORK. You have an eye for DESIGN. Joy

Great job! Your fabric is beautiful, good choice. And I like that, as you said in your comments, you chose to keep the rest of the bag simple since the fabric has a lot going on. Nice pleats too. Love it! :)
