Learn It

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

Instructions

I combined ideas from a couple of the bags on the course and changed the measurements to make it bigger. I also added long sashes that can be knotted for handles.

I haven't even watched all the lessons yet I feel so skilled up to make lots of bags. I have absolutely lost all fear of zips - thanks Brett!

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Funky, Cute


Materials

Cotton duck, with another layer as interlining and a Denyse Schmidt quilting fabric as lining and for contrast trims.

What was your inspiration?

Brett's course and casual bags I've seen on Etsy

What are you most proud of?

The recessed zip and how I added my own design ideas to the base pattern

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just try it

Very cool! I love that you combined so many different elements from the class -- pleats, rounded top, recessed zipper -- and you added your own spin with the sash and the handles. Very nicely done!!! :)

Thanks so much Brett. I love the fact Craftsy instructors look at the projects from students and take the time to comment. It means a lot. comments from other students are also encouraging. I absolutely love this class by the way!

Very nice! I like your combination of fabrics and the belt loops with the fabric strap is a lovely design element.
