I highly recommend getting a good sewing machine (by which I mean an entry level of a well respected brand if you are buying new or a refurbished second hand) I have an Elna 1000 and I love it to bits. You need something with the heft to stitch through several layers for seams and handles. Try to stay away from computerised as they cost a fortune to fix if something goes wrong. I can't wait to see your first project.Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380243232331364470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419015777956938052.post-78415355770574704922009-04-08T01:19:00.000+02:002009-04-08T01:19:00.000+02:00Great thanks for the tip, my friend's sis is the b...Great thanks for the tip, my friend's sis is the buyer for JL's habby dept- dream job,eh?!<BR/><BR/>I spent ages looking at the u-handbag site, it's great.

The side catch design is not mine unfortunately, that's how they come but it is a great way to use up lovely fabrics.<BR/><BR/>I have a few larger frames (23cm) on order for making everyday handbags.<BR/><BR/>Let me know how you get on. I love seeing how other people's bags turn out.Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380243232331364470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419015777956938052.post-31573782150383625612009-04-03T02:42:00.000+02:002009-04-03T02:42:00.000+02:00Oh I am molto impressed!

I would love to attempt such a thing,have so many bits of fabric around the place. I love how the catch is on an angle, did you position it like that?<BR/>The fabric is gorgeous, may it swing from your wrist with many glasses of wine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
