cut out handle clutch with fish!!

[stargirl]

i absolutely love these little fish! good with fabric for .25 cents. .25 cent fabric rocks!
my most recent bag. i didn't think i would like using these types of bags, even though i love making them, but i found that i love using them too. they fit a lot more stuff than one would think.

FISHES!!!

I love this purse...it looks pretty simple to make and being a beginner at sewing it might be a good purse for me to try...would you do a tutorial?


I'm curious how you make the handle...

[girlgeeknz]

Good work!

How did you do the handles? I have some black vinyl sitting here, and I want to make a cutout handle bag from it, but I'm terrified of the handles. I've done a bit of reading on previous posts on Craftster, but there seems to be a few different ways of doing it.

The fishies are absolutely ADORABLEEEE!!!

It looks like you may have used interfacing to make the handles sturdy?  Just asking.  Everyone wants to know about the handles!  Cute cute!

i used interface for the whole thing. next time i make one i was thinking that i should put extra  interface around the handles though.
i have pictures of how i made it. ill try and post them soon.

You can also use plastic canvas around the handle cutouts.
