~handmade purses and such~

One of the first things I ever recall sewing

was a purse. I think I was about 4 or 5 years old

and I took a scrap of fabric from my Mom's 

sewing stash, folded it in half, hand stitched

up the sides and tied a handle to holes on each side.

It was very primitive as far as purses go

but for a small kid I suppose it was alright. 

Since then I've made lots of purses.

To me, purses are fun to make because

A-you can make them as easy or difficult

as you want to.

B-you can use virtually any type of fabric

to do so.

C-they are usually pretty quick to whip up.

and

D-I love purses!

Here's a few purses I've made over the years.

I've posted them on here before but for 

those new readers of mine I thought I'd

re post pics of them. Plus...I've got 

purses on the mind :)

Thinking of making another one.

to the individual post about each one.

The zipper purse I made for my little lady :)

SUPER EASY!

The Nook storage pouch I made for my adorable cousin.

Clutch purse made from an old Elton John T-shirt....

I use this purse a lot when I go out.

Clutch I made from a personalized t-shirt for 

Jolie's 40th b-day. One of my favorites!

I spent a lot of time making sure everything

was just right on this.  

The child's duffel bag I made for my little guy.

Not one of my best and I even used a pattern on this :(

He loves it anyway....it's seen a lot of miles.

 The coupon/shopping organizer I made for 

my friend, Monika. Recognize the fabric?

I had some of this left over and made the nook

cover for my cousin too. 

I didn't realize there would be so many until

I got knee deep into this post. 

I can think of a blue hobo bag I made years 

and years ago for a certain bachelorette party 

weekend in Cancun....do you remember that Jolie?

I gotta find that and take pics of it.

I wonder if it's as cute as I thought it was.

 

Hope you've enjoyed the stroll down 

memory lane :)
