Tried making a purse today!

i made a crocheted bag for my daughter once and it turned out alright. i love trying my hand all sorts of different crafts. i have been making jewelry for myself lately and that has been fun.

the internet always has great ideas! i was given a few bags of material from a friend and am not sure what i want to make with it. i was thinking about a crazy quilt or maybe a yoyo blanket covering. both of those crafts would be my first attempt at them so i am not sure. i will probably wait until after CHristmas anyways to get started. it will give me some time to do some research and it will give me time to decide what i want to do.

I've been beading pouches and they look nice, I've also sewn bags, like tote bags in the past, probably will continue to do so as I need to.

I've made multiple market bags. The ones that look like fish netting. But I crochet them. I use different yarn weights so even with the same pattern, I make them so that they are all different. Different colors. Change up the straps to longer or shorter. I've got one purse-type bag started. Will have to figure out how to add a lining once the main body is built. How did you make your bag/purse? Crochet? Sew?

I have made a reusable grocerie bag out of an old pillow case once and it turned out pretty good! It's so much easier making it by sewing machine than by hand! Do u have a picture of the purse u made!? U must be talentedhuh? :) have u tried making them to sell? That would be a good thing if u could sell them online or where u live..

I'm not much of a crafty type person. Honestly, I dont have the patients to do these things. I would get half way then throw it across the room, because it didnt go how I liked it, or I got bored.

I have not made any actual bags for myself, I have seen many of my friends sew the bags, and they are pretty nice. I don't know how to use a sewing machine. Also, currently I am learning how to make toys for my kids. I have made a simple wallet for my son, and a tissue bag for myself, all made by felt.

I make what they call place mat purses....and they are so cute. I sell them at my craft sales. I have also found several patterns on the internet that are super....glad you found one you liked so much!

I love crafting as well. I always made special crafts for my friends as gifts. Every year, I make my own personalized crafts to give for my friends and loved ones. It is because, I want them to feel they are special. I have made bags, coin purse made of yarn. I have made paper swan and baskets for displays too.

Yes I tried making purse by by crocheting. I too made one out of my denim pants and did some embroidery with sequins and beads. It's cute and I love it. How I wish I have more time to focus on my productive hobby!!!

I have made a crocheted coin purse, a cell phone holder and a folded fun purse for my personal use.

i love purses which are quite trendy and quite fashionable too,i like to garner and make them with new designs,i like the way you are doing it

I love craft and crochet. I have not make any purse or bag from long time, but I have made purse, bag, coins purse, cellphone pouch etc. I like when I can make it by myself, I can browse free pattern on internet and use any colours I like. There is free tutorial of making bag from crochet granny square and I would like to make it but I dont have the yarns yet. I dont have enough yarn supplies stock to make big project like bag, so I make smaller project like crochet flower brooches and then selling it. I like to try new craft, I want to learn beading, I want to learn quilt. But I'll learn later after I finished learning how to knit.

Hai friend.. Congrats..You done it..My mother is a teacher of craft works..She makes purses,bags and all such other things..For a competition she taught me that how to make paper bags.Now a days we are suffering from the overuse of plastics.That will surely destroy our soil and there have no any way to destroy plastic after use it.So as for a caring I presented this..That was really fantastic.Judges given me more marks.And I got first prize for that..It is really easy to make.It is very rare now.and so that the sellers put a high cost on this thing.In my view there is only about 10rs. we can carry it for buying vegetables.Then there have an option that to make a costly bag to bring for a function..Will you please take a photo of your purse and post here???Once again congratulations..Thank you..

hello riyauro, nice to hear that you were able to make those. you can make money from those things since you can sell them eventually. a way to earn extra isn't it.

I make a lot of crafts myself.Usually my granddaughters get everything I make.I keep saying I am gonna make something just for me.But it doesn't work out that way.My granddaughter who is 11 has made a bag for her and one of her friends.Her friends yesterday and hers the day before.She found some blue jean material that I had cut off and asked if she could use to make her a bag for her reading book.She added a pocket to it to the front.I think she made it in less than an hour.She loves to sew and draw.The 8 year old granddaughter loves to draw and take pictures and videos with my camera.To me making stuff that you is a lot more sturdier than what you can buy and not to mention a lot cheaper.

wow, that's really nice, i don't know any crafts work , never tried it, but i like to watch people doing the same, so you learnt it from a website, i never got that idea lol, what all things do you use for the purse? if dont mind, can you give me the link, i will try it, i know its difficult for me, because nothing goes into my head regarding this crafts work ,but would like to try.

Wow, you're really so talented, I wonder what you'll think of to do next? I never have the talent nor the patience for crafts, well theres this one time I was able to crochet a cellphone holder. They laughed at it because it's not evenly stitched and one end is longer than the other. Guess my idea for a DIY give away is not going to happen, lol!
