Awesome bag...I too love that fabric!

Well, after giving away the first bag that I made for my friend's upcoming birthday, I had to whip up another.

Here it is:



I decided to try this tutorial, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=24944.0 to make a flower to put on it.  I loved the tutorial, although my flower turned out a bit wonky (I like to think it has character).



I have yet to attach it to the purse (I need to glue a pin to the back of the flower) but here's what I hope it will look like when it's done:



Let me know what you think!
 
p.s. to read about my sewing machine woes, see my blog

Your purse is awesome.  I've made one like that but now that I see yours I think it's time to sew up another!

I apologize in advance if this question is in the wrong forum, but I wasn't sure where to put it.

I LOVE fabric covered buttons and my hunch is that you need a kit or special tools/buttons to make them, but I'm not sure.

How do you make them?

I've been doing a TON of surfing crafty blogs these days and I saw one that I just can't seem to be able to find again, no matter how hard I try.
The very creative person wrapped mini chocolate bars in fancy shmancy paper and kind of embellished them.  They were so cute and would make terrific add-ons to gifts.
I would love to find that site again.

Any help?

Thank goodness for Target napkins! That looks awesome!

The heat and humidity are at record levels, it's way too hot to go outside, so this is what I've been up to:

This bag is made from this tutorial http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=52143.0.  I added a pocket and a magnetic snap.  I applied two layers of fusible interfacing to support the snap, I hope that is enough!

The colours in the second picture are much truer to the real thing.







An then today I did this.  I modified the wonderful Jordy bag pattern found here http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=32204.0.  It's cheap Walmart fabric, but I love it!






Thanks!!

I absolutely LOVE that bag!!!!! Fantastic job!

Oh I love polka dots!
The fabric is great and I love the shape of the bag.
Did you use a pattern, or did you make it up as you went along?

Your bag is great!  I love the change you made to the handles, mine turned out wonky.  I plan to make this bag again with a slight change to the handles.
Way to go!
