New Handbags on the way!

I have been working on more handbags this week.  My new best friend Carly and I did some bartering at Christmas time.  She is a wonderful jewelry artist and made my girls copper cuffs for Christmas, and I was to make her one of my professional size purses in exchange. ( When she decided what fabric choice was right for her.)  Well, she stopped in for a visit last week and she liked this fabric a lot, so I have been busy.
So, here is the front of the bag!


Working on the back pocket for the bag.

Here I am sewing the sides to the bag and closing up the bottom.


This is the outside shell of the handbag.


I have four of these on the way!  One is for Carly, one for my daughter, Laura, and the other two will be for sale at $60.00 plus shipping.  E-mail if you are interested. 
Now on to make the lining and finish the bags.  Wish me luck!

Blessings to all,
