Learn It

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

Instructions

Followed Brett Bara's course mostly.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Casual


What was your inspiration?

Black fabric is normally classic, but the pink lining makes the project exciting.

What are you most proud of?

I have always used traditional patterns and didn't have alot of confidence in online creations. Well, I stand corrected. I followed Brett's tips and directions and I'm so pleased with my final project. Even my two sons commented on how cool the tote looks.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid to repeat the directions . . . I did until I "got it".

I love this bag, it is perfect for file folders and a lap top. I will be making more in different colors and fabrics as well as some assessory pieces to match. Thanks

What a gorgeous bag - looks very professionally crafted. Is the outer fabric printed duck or canvas? Or cotton, or what?

Sorry for delay in replying . . . had back surgery. Anyway much better now. The outer fabric is medium weight upholstery right from JoAnn' Fabrics.

Love it! I love your combo of black and white fabric with a pink lining! And love the way you did the fabric straps with the hardware attachment. :)
