I have found these purses on line and fell in love with them…… they are all retro and glam, some were going for $60. And I thought wow , I should try my hand at this , It looks fun, plus every girl needs more purses…. I bought a bunch of purse bags a few years back, for a dollar each. they were ugly ,but I knew I just needed them. LOL.. So alterations or upcycling is what its called now a days……Credit goes out to the artist for putting these in my head. She sells hers on Estys check her out..http://www.dharmatrading.com/featured/561/?utm_source=2012_11_01-fa_1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=facebook
Now This is the first , and needs more to it , but thought I’d share so far.. I get so carried away, LOL… hers some of my photos …. I used satin, for the purse itself.
This is the start of my pattern , I don”t measure , I just cut look draw add cut ect. Tip for doing eyes nose and mouth is draw it , trace it on vellum in pencil then pencil side down on fabric and scribble on back and you have a pencil transfer .
BEFORE ….fruity…
