paulakiss said... Love love your purse! When I first saw the pic I thought wow that looks professional! If I saw that in the store, I would definitely buy it! I'll have to give this pattern a try! Thanks for the helpful, detailed review. Enjoy your new bag! 9/18/10 0:34 AM
JDpenelope said... What a great bag and your rendering is so professional. Like your friends, I don't sew kangeroo or any other kind of leather, but your work is very precise -- No one would ever guess you made this. The handles are great -- Were they difficult to do? Wow! Those other bags in the pattern are huge, but I guess that's the trend right now. 9/18/10 1:02 AM

ClaireEmily said... Wow!!! Amazing bag. The tartan is very funky. Personally I feel that kangaroo meat and leather is far more sustainable to farm than beef and cow leather and better suited to the Australian environment. So wear your kangaroo with pride =) 9/18/10 2:00 AM

Jane in MS said... So professional looking, I'd love to see some shots of the interior. Good tip about glueing the leather before stitching. Very nice project! 9/18/10 7:28 AM

Leslie in NZ said... Very well done!! Where did you get the bag interfacing? 9/19/10 9:05 PM
Mary Nanna said... Thanks everyone! Leslie, the bag interfacing is from Smart Dress fabrics - I used the fusible version. JD penelope - yes the handles were a pain to do - easy to sew, but pushing the tubing through took a look of patience! 9/22/10 9:02 PM
