pursey hawley
I’ve been seeing so many handmade handbags lately on my many favorite, craft blogs which have made me so envious. After I saw this tutorial I knew I had to make one for myself. I already knew what fabric to use since I had an odd amount of fabric leftover from my den project.
The handbag in the tutorial is a bit bigger than I prefer to use, so I modified the design. Since I didn’t want a flat purse I also used a concept I learned while making my Vera Bradley knock-offs a few years ago to add dimension. I went a little overboard with the idea, but I think it still managed to work. As a final touch I made one of these flowers. It manages hold all my junk and even has a few divider pockets inside.
