Well, since I was asked again to make a couple of small handbags for 2 little girls I thought I'd also share with you that before being hooked on quilting and really getting drugged on all those patterns, materials, etc. I had fun making handbags out of scrap upholstery material (sample pieces). Here are a few...

very pretty.

Very cute. Did you use a pattern or just whip it up yourself?

All very cute. I am especially partial to the kittens.

Just whip it up myself ;)

I did find some of that material in a shop so I bought some more and made a few more bags as there were other friends partial to kittens too.... :-D

These are very creative. The fabrics are great. Yeah girl.

I like all of your bags here and on the other post. I especially like the red and silver one. You use the most interesting and unique straps. I like the one with the rope/cord on the other post.

All my bags have a little pouch sewn inside for little bits and pieces, sometimes a narrow one too for a pen and most of them have a pouch which holds a cell phone.
Oh and I forgot to say, they are all lined :D

WOW- Love them.

These are just darling.

Wow! Love your purses. I really like your animal fabrics and your workmanship in the bags looks perfect. Great job and thanks for sharing.

They are truly beautiful. I hope to be as good as you one of these days.

Now, these are so pretty. Really like these fabrics and just enough detail to be so interesting.

Love them!

very nice... you've given me the push i need to get into my sewing rom and finish up the one i have stared..... the snow is up to about 12" today and still coming down!!!!:(

Very smart looking :-P

You have really been busy. Lots of good looking handbag. Thanks for sharing.

I love them all! You do have a great design talent. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Neat bags!

Very nice, haven't you been busy.

Very nice handbags!!! They are quite smart and cute! Nice job!

Beautiful purses......

All very pretty!

Love the bags. Great job.

they are all pretty but I too like the silver and red one best of all.

Very nice bags, and so useful. Thanks for sharing the photos, I read the story of you started making them and now I got to see them too!

those are very nice!

What great bags - love the fabrics you use.

nice bags.

Don't you agree these are worthy of another look? I found them while searching for bags made from scrap strips on cardboard loom. Aren't they cute?

I love these. My granddaughter will love them too. I often look in the drapery and upholstery fabrics and think about bags they would make. In fact I have a couple of yards of upholstery fabric which has Roosters set aside to make a bag.

They all look wonderful.
