Monday Pinterest DIY Finds: Handbags



I love handbags. I prefer sewing a handbag over sewing a skirt. For some reason it's just easier for me. So, I have found some tutorials on Pinterest that I'd love to share with you. 





I have to try this one out because I have been wanting to learn grommets for a while. I think it would bring a nice touch to a tote bag.

I tried making something similar to this one but I believe my studs weren't strong enough because they fell out. 



Foldover clutches have gotten really popular. I made one before but it did not come out the great. either I need more practice or it's just not for me.




I can't decide if I love the fabric they use the most or the technique. It's actually pretty simple. Love this little pencil pouch. 



Hope everyone has a Happy Monday!

  2. Tote bag! I have a serious tote bag addiction. And I have fabric up in my studio that I could probably use to make that. (Not that I need *another* one...)

  10. These are fun! I love those pencil cases and recognize the fabric - Loulouthi from Anna Maria Horner :)
    I started out with sewing bags and gradually moved into clothing. I still love bags though!

  12. I'm into the foldover clutch trend myself. I got one off Etsy that I love. However, I find myself not using it much because I can't stand not having straps! Maybe if I could find one that converts into a longer purse. Great finds!
