  110. Degy | | #110

    Bought your newest magazine about Handbags a few days ago. I was so thoroughly impressed that I started to make notes on which fabrics I have to make them, as well as some of the leather that I have harvested from other purses that have 'died a painful death', like a handle would break. To me, my purses or bags are my friends--they have to hold a lot, glasses, keys, meds, iPad, phone etc.
    Sewing is something I love to do, cause I get to create something beautiful, or useful--even putting a new zipper into one of my husbands jackets. Thank you ever so much for this opportunity.

    These patterns would be great to use with the fabrics in my stash that I must use up, my sewing room is overflowing! They would also make great presents!
