A new sewing group at the OOOOOlala quilt shop started in January called Bag Babes. I joined the first workshop to make a purse. Making a purse and sewing with faux leather was a new experience for me.
This small shoulder strap purse is about 10 " wide by 7" high and only took about three hours. What a great learning experience. I learned how to assemble a purse with hardware, made a decorative tassel and even added a custom button over the magnetic closure. Pretty easy peasy. |

The workshop for February was another small purse with appliqué flowers which I wasn't interested in making. Possibly March's workshop will be a bag I want to make. Since I don't need dozens of purses, I decided to pick and choose which bag workshop to participate in.
I always thought making purses/bags was more difficult and time consuming than what it was. I already have some great ideas for some new bags to make.
