Yesterday I blogged about the basic black purse I made for my friend.
She has bought several of my purses in the past, and while she sews, she doesn't like to make bags, although she has done a couple.
She found a pattern and brought it to me, and then did some shopping in my 'fabric closet'.
The purse is just basic black twill - the pattern had a flap with velcro/magnetic snap closure, but I put a zipper in the top instead.
The straps were kind of short - I know my friend like a longer strap for her shoulder, and to dress it up, I added the rectangular metal rings.
So, then the fun starts! This isn't such a basic bag after all - those buttons are there for a reason! The bag gets a cover that can be changed - and in this case is reversible!
So on one side we have the bright colorful flowers and on the other side a basic black and white.
Now, think of the possibilities!
Happy Sewing!
