This is the Margo handbag by Lazy Girl. It even has a zipper! (I hate zippers!) This was so easy to put in. I have made 5 of them so far. There are 6 large and 4 small pockets inside - and the two on the front. The pattern is awesome to follow - lots of color pictures. Aren't they cute? The third picture is my girlfriend Shari - I made one for her birthday. I cut hers a little larger.

Beautiful job on your purses. I have the Margo Bag on my wish list. How hard are putting in the zippers for someone who has never sew anything with a zipper in her life?

Very cute and your friend looks very happy!

Really not bad at all - just follow the pattern closely.

I just got this pattern, but I haven't made it. I like the idea of a zipper. Great work on yours!!

You did a great job with these bags! I'll have to get the pattern and try it out. :)

love the purse, I had to search online to find out more about it and found this site

Beautiful bags :D:D:D

Very nice! Where can you get the pattern and directions?

love the colors on the last one :)

I love your margo bags! I like that they zip up! I will have to get that pattern. Very cute!

Great job! I just bought a lazy girl pattern today!

I love the bags. I want to try that pattern too.

Great colors.. Love the purses...

I really like the purse. I have never made one, but would like to. (LOOKS HARD) Your friend is lucky you made her one.

Very nice! I've been making a lot of bags too. So much fun and a girl can never have enough bags. :thumbup:

I checked it out and was disappointed with the copyright restrictions.

Fabulious fabrics! nice job, I can tell by the smile DF is wearing :thumbup:

That's a great bag. I bookmarked the sight so I can order the pattern. Thanks for showing.

I love lazy girl's purses! Her "lily" purse is on my wish list. Great job on them!

Very nice. Will have to look into the pattern. Shoot, I may have it. I buy the patterns and sometimes they just go to the someday pile.

Do you mean that it says items can't be made for sale? If so, we've had fairly lengthy discsussions here on the board and ppl
have googled, posted links to copyright law etc. The conclusion seemed to be that if a pattern, book or whatever was bought and paid for legally, then the pattern designer had no right to prohibit you selling the items made from their pattern, certainly not on a small scale (ie not factory proportions!) anyway. Hope this helps, I'll see if I can find the thread where the discussions took place and post the link here. :-D

I searched the board for 'copyright' and found zillions of threads but here is a link http://www.tabberone.com/Trademarks/...ompanies.shtml posted on one of them that answers all the questions regarding what you can and can't do with items made form a legally acquired pattern. Hope it helps. And I'm so sorry that I forgot to say how much I LOVE the bags. Your fabric choices are great. BUt I don't DARE get into zips or my family may start expecting me to MEND stuff for them! :mrgreen: :lol:

how neat, beautiful purses.

That looks a lot like the bags I've been making, but I don't do a zipper...or use a pattern for that matter. I just figure out how big I want it to be and go from there.
I started doing them as baby gifts when my kids were still in the church nursery (my youngest has a 6 y/o son!)

Great job on the bags! :)

I've been following most of the discussions but I thought that the conclusion was to get the designer's permission. This sounds like you won't get permission. I don't mass produce, but I do make things that people request and I charge for them.

Check out this link - once you legally own a pattern, you can make things with it and sell them. :-D

Thanks for the link. It is clear that clothing, including aprons can be produced and sold regardless of what the pattern companies say. It is not as clear about quilts and totes.

Very nice I love to make purses too

Very nice totes, especially the last one. I love that fabric.

Lovely!
