I am in a Purse/bag frenzy!!
I LOOOOVE purses. I want to buy them all! But I have not money...what to do?
Make my own!
So I checked out several websites and tried to get a FREE pattern for a cute bag.
One of the mostest cutest patterns I found was at Made By Rae. She has a super cute bag, the Buttercup bag.
I made it and it is so cute! I made a few changes to the original pattern. I enlarged it, added an inner pocket with a zipper and lengthened the strap. Here is my version.
I also found a super cute tutorial at La Maison Reid. She made a Burlap bag that is to die for!
This is her bag.
I did not happen to have any burlap laying around but I did have some jean material.
This is her bag.
I did not happen to have any burlap laying around but I did have some jean material. I thought I would give it a try. And here it is.
Not quite the same. I think because of the material it took on a totally different shape. It looked kind of crazy so I made a few changes. I squared out the bottom corners and shortened the top rim. I added a jean rose to mine just like she added a burlap rose to hers. I like it!

So that is it so far. But I am not done! I have several more to make and then I think I will try to make my own pattern and tutorial.
These ladies inspired me! Thank you!
Oh Chelsea, you did a great job on your purse! I love mine and have been using it ever since I made it. I wasn't a purse junkie until recently and see myself making many more in the near future. It's so funny you made a "buttercup" bag...I have just recently seen some on the internet and bookmarked a few thinking I would make one of those soon. I LOVE the fabric you made yours out of. Can't wait to try one.
ReplyDeleteThank you soooooooooo much for showing me what you made!
