Sewing: Glamorous Bag

Glamorous Bag

Instructions

I used a pattern by Lisa Lam, which she calls the Graceful Kelly Bag.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Classic, Traditional, Retro / Vintage


Materials

Embroidered satin for bag outer. Cotton for bag lining, Brass coloured frame.

What was your inspiration?

My shoes! They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and I wear them all the time. They have panels of embroidered satin fabric so when I saw some very similar fabric I knew that I had to buy it and make a bag to match my shoes.

What are you most proud of?

Finishing the bag in time for my holiday in a few days time. I'm going on a cruise holiday with my husband (and my shoes!) so it will be lovely having the bag to match my shoes. It will probably contain some cross-stitching to while away the hours! :o)

notsewvanilla - It was on a UK site called u-handbag.com and it is called the Graceful Kelly Purse Frame. Hope this helps.
