Not So Wordless - Wordless Wednesday

posted in sewing |

One of two purses I finished recently. It is 9″h x 12″w with one exterior pocket and 2 interior pockets. It has a metal tubular closure mechanism that pulls open and then “snaps” closed when you apply pressure. It is fully lined and the handles are reinforced for comfort and security. This bag sells for $40.

    Chris - Yep! I sure am working on a bigger bag! I quilted the body of the tote bag today and am getting ready to attach all of the pockets, both inside and out. I have to figure out how to install some type of closure on the bag too.
    I have to take a swimming break and spend some time with my daughter. If not, she’d spend the ENTIRE day in front of the t.v. or computer. Hmmm, sounds just like her mom!
    BTW, I am older than you. :-D

    Oh my god, you made that? The inner lining is just as great looking as the exterior. Also, the exterior pattern looks like those images icons on Wordpress if you don’t have an avatar image.

    Patty - Thanks so much! I usually buy my fabrics at quilting shops. This particular bag is made from Moda brand, one of my favorites to buy from.

    Thanks Tricia! I have been busy with the sewing machine lately because my sisters and I have a booth we are renting in Tennessee in a few weeks in order to try to sell our fabric creations. I need plenty of stock to go there with and am showing most of them here as I get them done. Stay tuned!

    Can you please tell me where you got the hardware for the purses. I am interested in the two forms of self-closing metal spring closures. Thank you. Your purse is lovely.

    Vicki - I purchased the tubular frames for my bags at my local quilt shop. They do have a website, http://www.thequiltasylum.com or, you can go to the distributor’s website, http://ghees.com

    These tubular frames have a spring closure action that work very well in purses and tote bags.
