Deepika, that turned out fabulous! I am going to have to buy that book. It's great for inspiration! -Ann

I wouldn't have guessed this started from a drawstring pattern. you are right - "hip"

I really like the placement of the trim on this bag, and how it holds the handles on. Lovely!

Great bag, I love how you used the trim!

Great bag, Deepika. I'm making my first bag right now - how do you attach the magnetic snap? Where did you get it and the handle? Thanks!

Very cool. that bag concept has so many possibilities.

Hmmm this book could be just what I need to get DD into sewing. She is handbag crazy too! And, handbags should be a great way to stay into sewing when you need that break from garment sewing! Yours looks way cool!

Donna, watch out its an addiction! I got my handles at Joann Fabrics and magnetic snaps through Karla, but you can order them online at www.sewing.net and many other sites. Joanns also carries them. The magnetic snap has 4 pieces, a male, female and 2 washers. The concepts is that same as a paper fastner. You mark the position of the snaps, make two holes insert the prongs then on the other side of the fabric, insert the washer and hammer the prongs inside. I always stabilize the fabric where the snap is going to go. Mary yes! a great break and so quick and easy. Unlike the other books on handbags which I've read this one has styles you can actually use and show off!

Where does one find this Master Pattern Book? Looks like fun! I make lots of bags just winging it mostly because pattern instructions from the Big 4 get me close to tears. This might be a way to branch off and get some good variations!

Lucky mother in law. Very nice Deepika. I too have this book and has been inspiring to me as well. I love the lining material you used. I truly am impressed with all of your purses.

Very nice purse. That lining fabric is incredible. It's such a fresh look.

I got my magnetic closures at Walmart 2 in a package for $ 1.14....cheaper than one set at Joanne!

Deepika: I haven't made a tote/puse yet. Whee did you get the heavy weight fusible and the plastic canvas? This tote is lovely with the special trim and colorful lining.

MaryBeth, I got the plastic canvas in the crafts section of my local Joann Fabrics. You could probably find it in Michaels too. Heavyweight fusible interfacing and the fusible fleece also came from Joann. Buy the heaviest weight you can find.
