Well as you can see I think I am getting the hang of sewing and making my bags! Still not 100% perfect but it is getting easier.
Here is the last 4 I made in the last couple of weekends. I made 3 in one day and the black one I made for my mother-in-law took me a while longer because the fabric was a bitch to work with until I got it figured out so I had to walk away at one stage as it was getting me frustrated! Once I understood how to handle the fabric it was a breeze and actually turned out the best! The aqua coloured bag was made for my daughter for her birthday, another is for my friend Shaz as a late birthday present and the brownish/grey one is the one my mum chose. I have one more bag to make for Miss Froggy as she asked ever so nicely and then I want to move on to another type of bag that I found a pattern for.
The black bag is made out of a snake skin look fabric and my mother-in-law loves it as she bought snake skin look shoes and this bag is a perfect match! And I chose a burgundy satin lining just because I liked it with the black.
At the moment I am really enjoying it and another sewing friend suggested getting myself an Etsy account and try selling but I'm not sure I am ready for that yet. I don't want to sell inferior products so when I am certain it all looks great then I will think about it!

Pretty! Love the colour! It is brilliant fabric for bags, looks so much like vinyl. Thank you very much!(will act surprised when I get it!) Love Shaz
They look great. :)
It's been a while since I found a craft that really interests me. Last one was cross stitch.
Shaz...will try and send it off this week for you! I have Wednesday off so will pop to the post office then. Our post office here at Milton where I work got flood destroyed in January's flood and they decided not to rebuild so no PO around here anywhere now which is a pain!
Hey beautiful, your bags look fabulous! We are all very lucky ladies to have someone who take the time to hand make something so pretty just for us.
I was only joking, but hey, being the good friend I am, I would never refuse something so pretty :-D
Seriously, thank you in advance a million times over xxxx Looking forward to catching up in October! Mwah!
*sollati*... nope, got nothing...
You have done so well with your bags, they are lovely.
