Maggie Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I have no clue what this is going to look like. This new computer is nothing like my old one and since it's a laptop you can't really "pose" the bag or have a nice background. It's reversible but this is the fabric I like the best. The interior is black and white check with cherries. Everyone that has seen it loves it. In fact I am working on one for my daughter now and will have 4 more to make.

asheebeans Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 OMG, cherries!!! I love it! My fave pricey bag (that I'll never be able to afford) is the Louis Vuitton Cherry bag! This one is so cute, I would carry it over the LV one. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks ladies.As I may have said here before...it's been 10 years since I sat down at my sewing machine. I loved this cherry fabric too...bought it at JoAnn's. The salesclerk that was cutting it asked me what I was making with all of the cherry fabrics. When I told her it was a bag/purse she said be sure and bring it in when you finish it because I think it is going to look really neat.The one I am making my daughter right now is 3 different fabrics too. The exterior fabric is purple/pink/brown. The brown is outlines of butterflies...she loves them and has one tattooed on her arm. But...she fell in love with the cherries too. So...she doesn't know it yet but I bought more of the cherries fabric and will make it for her later as a surprise.If I remember...I will post the butterfly purse here when it's finished.

TexasBrat Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Maggie, you did a great job and that fabric is to die for!!! I can tell that was a lot of work you put into making that purse. Way to go.:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks again everyone.TexasBrat......I didn't work on it constantly...my hubby would say I did though. It took me less than a week to put it together after I cut out the pattern and made all of the bias binding strips. You use fusible interfacing on say the interior/lining fabric (just one side of the body) and then on the exterior you use fusible fleece on one side. It does give it a little more "support". I'm thinking Christmas fabric already....lol. And I did pick up a Butterick pattern last weekend at JoAnn's to make 4 different styles of purses. They had a GREAT sale going on. All Butterick patterns were $1.99 ea. limit 10. The price of patterns anymore is NUTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
