Sewing Project

My friend, Kate, asked me to help her sew a purse. Not sure why she asked me, since I too, have little sewing experience. However, we managed! Below are photos of the purse I constructed.

Here is the pattern we followed - we left out the zipper as well as using
interfacing because we didn't feel that it needed it.


We felt the inside lining really added an extra "professional" touch.
Kate also modified her straps to be a longer length for a comfortable fit.



Now, don't look too closely or you might spot an imperfection....

If you dig this purse, check out Jenna Lou's website for patterns. If you live in the Minneapolis area, her patterns can be purchased at Crafty Planet, along with all your sewing and crafty needs.
