Evening Bags

My daughter Bonnie told me I should make some evening bags for high school girls going to prom this spring. I thought I'd make a few. Here are the first 3 I made. Each has a pocket on the inside. The first one is gold sequence and is small, measuring about 6" x 5".

This bag is a pink & gold paisley. My daughter Ann said it is her favorite. She suggested making a strap for the wrist. This bag measures 8" x 5".


This bag also measures 8" x 5". It is silver and black with a black satin interior.

I will charge around $20 for these bags.



Custom Made Bags

Here are some purse I've been working on this past month. Below is a bag with a Southwest theme. A relative asked me to make one and this was the result.

A friend is going to Disney World and needed a backpack, so I made this for her. She picked out her material and pattern.
My sister wanted a big, roomy bag and I made this. The strap has a tie and has the lining material on the underside of it.
Many people have wondered how much I charge for the bags I make. A lot depends on the style, material used and time it takes to make it. I usually charge around $50 - $60.
