http://www.made-by-rae.com/2009/02/free-buttercup-bag-sewing-pattern.html - a great free pattern/tutorial for a lovely bag - simple but looks complex - I think it is great because you can easily print off the pattern pieces (fit onto A4 paper) and the instructions are really clear to follow! I am now following your blog thanks to the lovely Lisa Lam of U-Handblog. Jane
Oh, this is fantastic! I was looking to buy one, but I couldn't find the right one. Now I can make it! :)
Here's an interesting tutorial I found that I made earlier this week. It's absolutely adorable: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/09/how-to_led_embroidery.html
Thank you for offering this giveaway! It's fantastic. :)
Cute purse! The first zippered pouch I ever made was using this tutorial from Noodlehead... http://noodleheads.blogspot.com/2009/10/tutorial-lil-cutie-pouches.html It's one of my favorites because it got me sewing zippers--so easy.
I just became a follower. Thanks for the opportunity to win this giveaway. I am not much of a seamstress so my tutorial is for a felted mini-pouch. I hope you like it. Here it is: http://leisurearts.com/customer_care/download_files/N_02_07_Felted_Mini_Clutch.pdf You can reach me at ladyjspice@aol.com. Shari in Colorado
Everything is specified (good for people like me who like exact instructions!), so you know just what you need beforehand. There's also step-by-step photos, and of course a great result at the end, it makes an adorable hobo bag! ^_&
This one is for a super-cute kitty coin purse, you should definitely take a look at the pictures! There's a printable pattern and closeups of the embroidery and other embellishments to make it clear what you need to do.
Great tutorial!Thank you. I am currently having a coin purse making session myself at the moment, and I found you via a online search. Great blog. I have posted your competition on my latest blog entry all about my novice beginner sewing attempt at making a coin purse.

Your fabric patterns are so cute. I am currently addicted to making purses too. I was hooked on mini zip purse but have since moved on to metal frame purses. Their puffy-ness makes it oh so cute =)

You make it sound so easy I am going to attempt this soon. Will have to get the sewing machine back out of the loft.

This tutorial uses placemats to make a handbag, upcycling is practical, economical and good for the environment! :)
