snap bag purse
1 Attachment(s)
After using the seam ripper many time and telling the dogs it's o.k. to come out from under the bed mom isn't going to yell anymore I finally figured out how to make a snap bag purse. I still need to make some adjustments I like them. They are a little noisy but I like it.

Great job! Very in tune with the season.
|
Excuse me laughing - and I thought that it was only me that had these "hissy" fits.
Well it looks like it was worth it - great bag. |
Looks great. Love your fabrics.
|
oh, that is a very pretty bag!
|
Ive thouht od doing this...you did a beautiful job,
should i do one or will my kitty head for the hills. |
Kitty will be fine. You know animals they love us no matter what we do.
|
Well worth the "ripping"' now you have a great looking bag!!!
|
I just learned how to make these too. Lots of fun. I made them in several different sizes and even made one for a friend's iPad and my husband's nook. I plan on making some to be tooth fairy pillows and crayon holders. I use the Stanley tape for the large ones and the Dollar Store one for little ones.

Very nice snap bag-glad you figured out how to make them. They are fun and great for gifts.

Cute purse doesn't look like you would had any problems.
|
I have never seen a snap bag with handles. Is this from a pattern or your own addition. I have made a lot of them for friends for Mah Jong cards and make up etc, but yours is really nice.
|
The pattern on the internet does not have batting in it. I used that pattern and then added batting and parts of different patterns I have.

Very nice bag!
I've made several snap bags with cording handles, but I love the way you did yours too. You're right, they can be a little "noisy" when they snap, but they sure do open and close nicely. I've done some with an old 1" wide tape and find that works really well on the larger bags. Like you, I've added batting and also done some decorative FMQ on the sides. |
very nice like the colors!!!
|
Very nice!
|
Very pretty! I love the colors.
|
Cute one. I have just recently started making purses.
|
How did you add the handles ?? I have made the smaller bags without the handles but cant figure at what point and how you add handles ??
|
Very cute!!! You will get lots of compliments - especially because of it being fallish!
|
Nice job...I made a large diaper bag and doubled the rule for more strength.
|
Gorgeous bag, just right for the current weather. Great job.
|
I made the top with batting. I then sewed the lining rst to top on both sides. I turned it inside out. I then made a band for the top and sewed it on the top and bottom putting the handles when I sewed this seam. I flipped the band over and sewed it from the lining side. I then sewed each side inside out. The pattern I followed did not show how to finish off the band after you sew the side seams. I think I will just do an overcast stitch on them. I do need to do a couple more to make the top look a little neater. I am just trying to think of different ways to do it. Hope that helps.

HINT....if you put the ruler in like this () there is not as much noise, hardly any, like this )(, lots of noise LOL
|
Nice job on the purse with the handles. I have the snap bag pattern on my "to do" list.
|
Thanks for the information. I think people might like them if they weren't so noisy.

I have only made the small ones, I didn't know you could make a nice one like yours. Is there a pattern available?
|
Love your bag! They are sew much fun to make aren't they?
|
Looks good. Is there a pattern out there?
|
I love making them. People never guess what makes them "snap" closed. I read somewhere that you can use two pieces of tape instead of one if your bag has a large opening. I think you could use two pieces of tape if using the Dollar Store kind and skip buying a more expensive one on all your bags.
|
Love the colors.
|
Nice bag, good job.
|
To follow through and finish a troublesome project shows us the the proof is certainly in the snap purse!
peace |
Awesome I love it and the colours are just stunning.
|
Beautiful bag. I make small ones and never heard of using double tape as in (). I only use one strip like this ( and it works fine. Will have to try the double for a bigger bag. Learn something new on this board all the time!
