Lets see ... I spy with my little eye ... Bow Tucks and Miranda or Mini Miranda?
I love your bags and fabrics are fab choices! The horse bag with the scoop for your underarm is that your own design or is that a purchased pattern?

Yep, Bow Tuck, though I started with that pattern, then started to customize them, enlarging, reducing, changing closures, leaving off ties, front pockets, etc. Miranda is one of my favorites! I haven't altered those yet, except for the tab closures. The scoop tote was a pattern from McCalls magazine. After you make so many, you can really tweak them to make them your own.

Your purses look so well made! What do you use to make them so crisp looking? Do you use a special stiff interfacing or something to keep them from drooping. I'd love to know how well they sell at your craft fair. I've often thought of doing a booth at one of our local events, but was afraid I would be stuck with more "gifts" than I needed. (My reasoning is, "Well if they don't sell I can use them as Christmas and b'day gifts." LOL!) I've thought of doing a mixture of bags, table toppers, wall hangings, baby quilts, etc. But I've stayed busy enough with custom hand quilting that I've not had a lot of play time in the sewing room.
quickly. I really want to get back to my quilting, so after this, I will take a purse break for a while to get my McKenna Ryan Birdhouse quilt done. However, if they sell really well, I might just have to squeeze a few more in!!
