My purse production has been halted by a shortage of interfacing coupled with nasty snow covered roads.  I decided I should try to find a way to creatively use the little leftover scraps though, and found this tutorial for making business card cases from Schlosser Designs.  Now I can whip up sweet little accessories to coordinate with the purses – love it!

(Don’t look too closely, this was a quick trial run before breakfast.)

Have a great day!

One of the reasons I wanted a sewing machine was to make purses.  I love purses — they have such personality and they still fit even if your weight fluctuates.  This was my first attempt at a sewn purse.  It has mistakes, but I learned a few construction techniques and overall I’m very happy with it.  The fabric even makes me happy, seeing the states all mixed up makes me think my friends across the country aren’t so far away as they sometimes seem.

My second purse was made for my sister in law Alison who’s learning to play guitar.  I saw this fabric and knew I’d be making her a purse.

The interior is a coordinating print.  I love the happy colors!

I hope she’ll like it!  I’ve started on my next purse already.  This is kind of addictive.  :)
