Pretty Purses

Pattern Info

Instructions

I used a tutorial by Lisa Lam from U Handbag to construct my purses

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Cute, Retro / Vintage, Funky


Materials

I used various designer fabric, strong glue, 5" metal purse frame

What was your inspiration?

These were gifts to a group of friends I do Pilates with. Each purse is made especially for each friend by choosing the fabric to fit there personality.

What are you most proud of?

I loved choosing the fabric for each person. The finished purses are so cute.I also used handmade labels.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time and be careful with the glue.
