Clutch Tinz

I mentioned i made some clutches....here they are!!

This one i literally cut a dress i had made ages ago that i never wore and definitely does not fit anymore...lining and all. I put interfacing on only one side...now i'm wishing i doubled up cos while i think it looks pretty [if i do say so myself] there is pretty much NO hold to the purse.





This one i made as a gift. I was invited to some secret santa/year end event and was supposed to bring a gift even though i didn't know anyone else but the person who invited me. I wanted to give away something i made...guess also as a way to 'market' myself [hehe]. Anyways, the person that invited me ended up canceling so i didn't get to go :(. Ah well, i'm sure i can find someone to give it to.
**Oh i placed this plastic/flexible thing [i forget what its called] to give it the stay/hold but i don't particularly like the way it turned out cos it just won't lay still. So next time, i think i'll use the thing for just the actual purse bit and leave the flap so it lays down better





This one i also made as a gift for the person that requested the Tote bag from the previous post. She had given me some left over material the last time i saw her and said to do whatever with em so i figured it'd be nice to make her something extra. This took a while to make as i really took my time to make sure i got things right. I'm quite pleased with the finished product. I used a black satin fabric for the lining and flower



What do you think?
Would you rock it?
Would you buy it?
How much would you pay for it?

Kreate!!

Bag Lady

Mehn time just kinda flies huh?? I ain't been here in a hot minute...i kept meaning to but umm yea it just didn't happen. Even now sef i don't have my pictures loaded but i said by fire by force oh, i musto post which i realize totally defeats the purpose. I mean what's a 'product' post without any product, ey? Una go help me manage am like that jare. I'll post the pics soon enough :D

Messenger Bag
My sis requested a make her a messenger bag after seeing the one i made for myself. I didn't add any 'stay' or interfacing so it's all cotton fabric.






[Large?] Tote
My friend said to make her a tote and gave me some material to do so. Mehnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! This bag took a while to make...my seam ripper was very busy. I kept making all kinds of silly mistakes and had to take seams apart. It was meant to be much bigger but i miscalcuated the measurements and it ended up being too long but not as wide so i had to make it shorter AFTER i had finished sewing the whole thing. Then i realized the top black back is a little narrower than i would have liked so it might get a lil iffy for the user of the bag *sigh*.
Ah well, better luck next time. I think its usable and doesn't look bad. Maybe i'll go with a less complicated style next time. Lol!!




Oh, i made some Ankara Clutches too...next post ;)


**Pictures loaded 12/20. I try na, ba? lol
