I have been sewing lately, so I will get some posts together for things I have made!
First off, I have a few new purses I made from a pleather alligator fabric. I LOVE both of these bags. Seriously. I carry them everywhere with me. I used the basic outside measurements from bags I already had, and then went to town in doing my own thing.
This purse was fun to make. I have made a few other leather ones in this style, so I just used the same pattern. I added the front pocket and did the strap different, though. I got the chains for the handle at Michaels, and just used whatever hardware I had lying around to put it together.
This is my laptop/work crap/carry all bag. It is about 16″ wide x 11″ tall. Fits a lot of stuff. This will be a great carry on bag for a plane ride, too. I used a strap I had in my stash as the strap on the bag. I need to find some pretty silver snaps to replace the plastic ones it came with. A little chrome action will make it look a little better. I like my makes to look as RTW, as possible. I have enough experience sewing that my stuff really shouldn’t look homemade.
So…that is what I am carrying these days!
