    Those purses are great. They look hard to make and you did such professional job.

    Those are really cute. I've been wanting to make a purse, never made one before. May I ask where you found the purse hardware? My local shops don't have any and I've about drove myself crazy looking online and not finding what I really wanted. thanks

    Check your closet for a purse you no longer use, then make a new quilted one using the parts from it. OR look at resale shops, buy for the hardware and not the actual bag. I have done both with great results.

    About how much time did it take to make just one purse, meaning 'easy'. I do not like those that take a long time to make because it is very complicated.
    You did a great job on all of them.

    Anybody would be lucky to receive one of your purses. They are all so pretty that it would be difficult to choose a favorite. Your daughters and granddaughters are very fortunate.

    Beautiful bags, but I love the apron with the ruffles behind one of the bags

    Since I knew I was going to be making a lot of these purses for gifts, I ended up ordering bulk bags of D-rings, slides and lobster clasps on amazon.

    It took me 2 to 3 hours to make one purse. The hardest part for me was putting in the curved zipper at the top of them, and doing the top stitching on that zipper.
