They aren't very big - I bought the fabric from a seller on Etsy and the pieces were pre-cut to 5.5" x 6". The finished purses are roughly 5" x 5.5". I lined them with a red dotty quilting cotton.
They make me happy and I hope they make their new owners happy too.
Have a great weekend, friends.
I love cute Japanese fabric too! And I love the purses!
ReplyDeleteThey're supercute! You've gotta love such happy fabrics.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! Do you have a tutorial for them? I'm scared of zippers but think I might like to try making some little bags to get the hang of them. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona. Thanks Cam.
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany! Thanks for the comment.There are a lot of zippered pouch tutorials online like this one: http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/2007/02/had_a_quiet_wee.html
or this one: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/01/14/how-to-make-a-lined-zipper-pouch-tutorial/
This one is more like how I make mine as I do top-stitch by the zip: http://blueflowertreasures.wordpress.com/2008/02/19/zippered-lined-pouch-or-bag-tutorial/
or even this lovely one:

I recently did a demo with a craft group at work and we used this cute tutorial
http://paper-and-string.blogspot.com/2009/03/500-posts-craft-day.html
as it didn't require a sewing machine.
If you're not worried about the placement of the zip (eg you don't mind the zip in the centre instead of at the top), have a look at my
Stuffy tutorial here

Hope this helps!
Happy sewing.
