Purses

I've made a couple of bags recently, partially because I was bored and partially because I needed a diaper bag to send to the childcare place with my daughter. I made this one first because I have a ton of this sushi fabric, but then remembered that I had the pink polka dotted fabric, so I made that one too.


The first one


The second one.

Anyhow, they're big enough to hold everything and they don't take too long to make. I am making a felt & fabric pin to dress up the pink one, because it's kind of boring, and will probably be doing something to the sushi one too.

I took pictures while I was putting in the lining, in hopes that they would help someone else out. I know that the first time I tried to sew a lining in the bag, I couldn't quite visualize what I was supposed to be doing. I don't know why it was so hard, but at the time it was. I even ended up sewing it so that the handle ended up between the bag and the lining. I'm going to write that up and post it in a moment.
