Ohhhhh look at all that yummy upholstery grade fabric! Isn't it pretty?! I get a wee bit excited about fabric.. don't you? I found a lot of these on a killer sale at my oh so favorite place to go...
Purse #1! It was purchased from my by my mom for her BFF for Christmas. Fun knowing who I am making a purse for... love picking fabric that reminds me of them.
Purse #2! My BFF in B-town was sporting the purse I made her and one of her friends wanted to purchase one. She had a limited budget so I cut some corner's and kept her cost down a bit. Really liked how it turned out though!! :)
Purse #3! Made for Aaron's Aunt. We draw names... which I love! So much nicer being able to put some thought and $$ into one gift... then give lots of little things people tend to not want or use. Yay! Loved being there when she opened it. There was lots of squealing, a jump in the air and many thank yous! Makes every stitch worth it.
Purse #4! This purse was lots of fun making. It was made for one of my sister in law's birthday! She is not afraid of color and when I saw these fabrics I thought they screamed her name. Literally. ;) She squealed when she opened it. Good sign of approval! Yay!
Purse #5! The hubby bought a truck... part of the truck deal was a purse for the wifey. Which is funny, right? I definitely splurged on her fabric but I LOVE the final result. She absolutely loved it... another job complete! wooo!
Purse #6! I made my mom a purse for her birthday (April) last year. It was one of my first purses and they have come a long way since then. She used it all the time and it was a wee bit worn. She would always make comments about how she really liked the black and white ones. ;) point taken.. Here you go mama. She loved! I loved... seriously had a hard time giving this one up. Wanted to keep it for myself!
Purse #7! Yes, it's little... but it still counts as a purse dang it! Goes with the first black and white purse above that was included in the truck deal. Big enough to hold a check book, keys, maybe some lipstick or chapstick (in case your lips hurt really bad). ;) All around a good thing to have in your larger purse or carry around as a clutch.
The mama wanted to buy three more purses from me. I found this pattern and thought it would be perfect. Change things up a little bit. I thought these purses would be easier to make than the purses above. Ummmmm no. These ones are probably more time consuming. So many pieces to cut and sew together.
Purse#8! Purchased by my mama for a christmas present.
Has a hidden pocket on the back! :)
Purse #9! Third purse the mama purchased from me for christmas presents.
Purse #10! Fourth purse the mama purchased from me for Christmas presents.
Purse #11! My last purse! yay! Made this purse for my mother in law for Christmas. She's going on a trip for most of January and I thought this was be the perfect purse for her to carry around all the little things while exploring. Love how it turned out!
Did I mention I had 9 days to sew and complete all 11 purses... ya. I was tired.
