This is a project that is long overdue for me! I’ve been working with a teeny pincushion for several years and I’ve been hankering after something more substantial for a while now. I use several different types of pins depending on the fabric I’m sewing and my teeny pumpkin cushion just wasn’t cutting the mustard anymore….they wouldn’t all fit for a start, and I’d end up trying to fish out my fine steel pins from between the big round heads of my quilting pins. Annoying!
Need a quick and simple tote for your next beach trip?
Here is a photo tutorial of how to make a quick and simple tote bag for your goodies and supplies.
This fun bag sewing pattern is perfect for an advanced beginner. The asymmetric shape of the fold over flap makes this bag a real eye catcher! There is an additional zipper pocket on the back of the purse. This project will also teach you how to install a top zipper closure. Enjoy!
So, here is the tutorial some of you have been asking for - the Leather Purse. This is a pretty beefy tutorial, so hang in there. I wouldn't say it's really hard to make this, but it is quite time consuming. However, it's pretty fun in the end to have a leather handbag that you've made. I never would have even dreamed of trying to make something like this a year ago. I love figuring out new stuff!
