Crocheted Purse

This is the first thing I have crocheted beside a blanket. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but it looks alright. My grandma goes to those red hat meetings all the time and is really in to unique purses so I might give it to her.

Tennis Racket Cover

This is a tennis racket cover I made a couple months ago for my Aunt because she plays like 3 times a week at least. She LOVED it! When she took it with her everyone was asking her where she got it and that they wanted one...lol

It has been a while since I have been on here last! The main reason for making this was so I could post tutorials and have not really been back on here for a while. I have been really busy sewing up a storm with the Halloween and Christmas season. As of last night I have completed all my christmas gifts except for one and that I am going to have to take to Michigan with me to complete. Tonight I have to spend packing and cleaning up a storm because we leave tomorrow at 7pm to drive through the night. I want to make sure I have everything we need so I am making a checklist and I don't want to come back home to a dirty house. The trip alone is going to make me tired traveling with a 12 month old! I have to wait until after Christmas to post up the pictures of the stuff I had made recently, but I willget it done soon!

Tutorial: Kelly Purse

When I made this bag I used McCall's pattern 4936 and just did a few alterations to it. The patterns called for cording to make your own handles but I thought that it would look more professionally done if I used store bought handles. So I got handle to match and left out the cording when buying the materials for the purse.
In the pattern there is a template for the handle and then there is another on that is just for the end of the handles. I used that as the base for my store bought handles and cut that out of the band fabric. In order to attach the base and handle to the purse you topstitch the base to the purse leaving enough room at the top for the fabric to be turned under and hand stiched around the ring of the store bought handle. After sewing on the base to the purse you hand stitch the base around the handle ring on both sides.
That is the only alteration I made to the pattern...but you can be creative and change things up if you feel juices flowing
This is my first one so if it is confusing I am sorry. You can message me if you have any questions... bagsyourway@yahoo.com

Army Purse

I made this purse out of my husbands BDU's and his Army sweatshirt as the lining with the logo on the side. The lining was going to be a cute little fabric, but I think this is much better.

Army Diaper Bag

I wanted a diaper bag made out my husbands ACU's but everyone was charging soooooo much. So i decided to go ahead and make one myself because I have sewn in the past. I thought it turned out ok, but there are little things that bug me about it but that is just me.

Kelly Purse

I made this purse for a friend after my other bags because I remembered how much I loved sewing. The bag is named after her :)
