My bf wants me to make him a shoulder bag for when he’s biking. I have some extra canvas, and i’ll just screen print something cool on there. I just have to get some hardware for it.
How to make purses
How I did it: I just picked fabric and kinda went for it. The first one I did was a pocket from an old pair of pants, so the basic structure was already done I just added a strap. The next one was a book purse, link below. Then I made a messenger bag for my boyfriend, because I had a bunch of leftover heavy canvas, who knows why. For that one I just fashioned it like a cube, I mean a very squished cube but that's the idea; three planes x 2. The latest one I did is a reversible bag made of sari-type fabric, pink and blue. It might be a little big but at least it'll hold plenty! So, after 4 I think I've "made purses."
Lessons & tips: Don't worry about perfection just go for it. If it doesn't work out at least you learned what doesn't work.

Yes, a big, loose reversible bag that I can hold lots of stuff but also is versatile with the two kinds of fabric. Yes.
I have a few very vague ideas, I want to figure out how to make them with good structure and closures. First I will sketch out what I want and then figure out how to achieve it.

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

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.
