Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Stupendous Stitching: Adventures in Surface Design »

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Funky


Materials

Upholstery tapestry, cotton lining, cording, threads, and embroidery.

What was your inspiration?

My cousin and I were shopping and she saw a purse she like, and I noted I could make that! So I did. But she wanted to add an outside pocket to the original pattern (Kwik Sew 3749), so I decided to take the class and embellish the pocket.

What are you most proud of?

I like how this class took my out of an easy to make and finish purse to something a little more challenging and creative.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun and be creative.
