1st HandBag!!!

My latest project. A handbag!!!

I made this bag for my sister in law as she bought this fabric for me from Taiwan. So, I took the chance to make a bag and I did it!

I bought a book that teaches me to make bags and I guess the book works well to me.

I use the prong snap button at the handle so the length can be adjusted as per your preferance (This is not listed in the book). Actually, the book teach me to use the leather handle but I dont have it. So I came out with this idea. I also make an inner zip pocket but the result came out a bit failure. I sew it too near the top area. Will make it better next time! This bag is not big but roomy enough to put your belongings. So, any comment ma? ^0^

Very inspiring. I am a bag addict and I am also just started to sew (as in real projects). I'll have to try this, very cute. Can you post a tutorial and the places that sell the materials?

Hi Cecilia, thanks for the message. I learn it from at handcraft book name '一学就会的手作包' . Maybe you can find the book at any book store. You can try to find fabric and some of the material from http://maymayshop.blogspot.com/ or http://kawaiistations.blogspot.com/. Let me know if you need more details..
