LOVE 'EM!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Boy what a great way to repurpose the upholstery fabric. My sister works at a furniture store and she is able to get these samples as well. Are they hard to make and are you going to sell them and if so, what is the price and would y ou share the instructions or patterns with us.

Great idea. Thank you!

They are beautiful! Do you have the pattern and a tute?

Just lovely! Pattern please?

Very pretty love them

I love them.

Just lovely! Pattern please?

beautiful bags!

Those are so pretty .Sandy

I want one!!!!!!!!!


As I am tall....I need one with long straps!!!!!!!!


I went to a local market and purchased an upholstery bag last year, but the strap broke....she used some fine thin leather for the strap and it was not strong enough.

I can say this for sure, I do love your handbags!!!!

Really nice. Thanks for sharing them.

Really nice. Thanks for sharing them.

All are so beautiful. Lucky receivers of these great bags!

I assume these were made from the Bowtucks pattern?

I also have a lot of samples like that. That is on my to do list! Doubt it will happen before Christmas though!! You did a great job!!
I like the pattern you used too! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

All of these are very nice! I have some upholstery samples as well, so here's more on my "to do" list :-) You did a great job.

I like what you have done. They look to be very sturdy purses. Are you giving them for gifts or selling them?

great idea, I have a few of these remnants as well and was wondering how to use them - thank you for showing yours

I'd LOVE to know the pattern as well !!!!

they are so nice. love the color combos

These are just lovely, you did a great job. It is possible for you to give us the pattern or let us know which one you used.

Love your bags. I have some remnants I have been saving but they're small samples and I don't have enough of any one to make a bag, however I like the way you combined fabrics to make your bags even more interesting. Thanks for motivating me to add an upholstery bag to my to-do list for 2011. Did you use a pattern or make up your own? Any chance you'd consider doing a tute? You did a beautiful job.

Due to illness my sister just closed her upholstery shop. I guess I need to go visit the shop while I'm visiting her.

No this is not the Bowtucks Pattern. There are many requests for the pattern I used ..... and I will have to pull it out and see about scanning it into the computer .... then I can share it with others. The pattern itself is really pretty easy to put together.

Thank you.

I would love the pattern- I have bouts of "bag making"!

Love your bag! The fabric really makes that bag. Love to see the pattern.

Thought I'd share some more ideas that I have done with Upholstery Samples. Our Pastor at church asked my husband if he would design and build him a Kneeling Bench for the church. He made the Kneeler ..... and I upholstered the padded kneeling area, using Upholstery Samples.

What a great idea! Makes me want to go to my nearest furniture store. :!:

Great job and they are beauties............pab

I like using upholstry fabric for purses, they can be washed in the washer on handwash cycle in cold water & hung to dry. They last a long time. Love your bags! Would like to know how you put your pieces together...did you serge them or sew them? Did you use a foundation to sew them to? Would like to know what pattern you used also. A tute would be nice, if you could.

Now I have to go looking for upholstery samples

Beautiful purses! Also, what a great way to use what you have!!

Great job!!!

Wow! Neat bags! :)

They all came out so nice. Will you be sending me one?

Beautiful bags!! It never ceases to amaze me what you people on this board create!!

Really nice bags...I guess i might have to get patterns and dig in my stash and make some...

Wow!! Those are awesome! I also fell into some upolstery samples will have to find a pattern to make some as nice as yours! Jan
