i'm new here (i hate saying that)
and i was looking for some tips on sewing lined purses
i've been sewing for a while but mostly fixing my own clothes and making myself crappy tote bags.. but now, i'm  going pro. i need to save money for a trip and i have two months .. my brother is really good at drawing and he's gonna help me with the designs but i'll be doing everything else..
so, any ideas?
