Sewing: My first purse!
6 kudoz

My first purse!

Pattern Info

Pattern info for this project can be found here:
From a magazine

Instructions

Pattern came from the Summer 2012 edition of BHG Quilts and More.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women


Materials

Red fabric is from Boho line by Annette Tatum. Blue fabric is from Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry.

What was your inspiration?

I liked the pattern in the magazine, and I loved the Boho fabric from seeing Amy use it in the BOM class.

What are you most proud of?

That it looks like a purse LOL. It was my first one so I didn't expect it to be perfect, and it isn't, but it's functional and it looks pretty good :)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be patient. This pattern calls for folding in and pressing a lot of the ends, and that was tedious.
