Learn It

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

Instructions

None.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Casual, Mod, Classic


Materials

eggplant colored twill, maize colored twill, antique bronze hardware, black leather straps, geometric print lining

What was your inspiration?

Brett Bara. Also, to expand my knowledge of adding hardware and shortcuts to inserting zippers.

What are you most proud of?

The color combination.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Cotton twill is a great fabric for this project. However, it is a little thick when it comes to putting the tabs together for sewing onto the main handbag. Maybe it's something I just need to gain proficiency.

That's the best compliment I could get! Thank you so much. I've been sewing since my mother taught me when I was eleven years old. I needed help with the finishing touches that makes a bag sell: hardware, interlining, different types of zipper installation techniques. I learned so much from the class.

This is a terrific looking handbag. Great colors in eggplant and printed cotton interior sizzle. The accents in yellow remind me of a matchstick . . . making this bag really hot!! I love it.
