make purses

i named her natasha…sold 2 of her …hopefully more

I am actually developing my own aesthetic that is reflective of what I normally wear, not what I would make for my sister.

of this little tote that came form a happy accident, now I just have too many bags w/ this print thoug. So on to etsy w/ you. www.reign.etsy.com

this is my fave. I am getting better at this. Now am going to concentrate on making bags that are good enough to sell. Im pretty good with the aesthetics, but the details need work. I have to learn how to do zippers, and pockets. But its pretty good considering I have only been at it for 2 weeks.

MY SISTER’S MESSENGER BAG. I HAD A HELL OF A TIME FIGURING HOW THE WORK THE DAMN BOBBIN ON THE MACHINE, BUT AFTER THAT THE REST WAS A LITTLE LESS DIFFICULT. BUT HER IS THE FINISHED OUTCOME.

Im as on my break from working on my sister’s messenger bag. It is just dumb cute. Well at least the part that finished.
I’ll post pics when its done, its black/white and red /skull print.

After that I’ll start on my mom’s linen clutch.

I decided that to get along with this goal, the I will dedicatw myself to making purses the official Christmas gift of all the women in my life for which I had intended to buy a gift for. This way, I spend less $$ and time finding gifts, I hone my skills, give people something one of a kind and from the heart, and I work on different skills. I will make sure that the bags are done in ther personal style of that particular person so that I dont get stuck in the rut of just making bags that I would wear myself. These women are all different ages and have all differest styles. From my 75 year old grandmother to my 15 year old sister. From coin purses to messenger bags, I will finish them all by December 20th.

I saw the cutest clasp for a coin purse, OMG I am definatly going to get if for my grandmothers bag.

my sewing machine is broken, so I’ll have to purchase a new on before I go on with this goal
