Soreeee! So late in announcing the winner of this draw.
As you might have guessed, it's the book writing preventing me from blog writing - acchh!
Loads of really useful suggestions for my bag designing endeavors with some very clear themes emerging too. Your suggestions have been taken on board and I'll definitely use them to guide my design work. So thank very much for taking part!!!
Up for grabs was a finished Baguette Clutch Purse.
Here are our other yummy Purse Making Kits.
Oh i love the moment summer starts to turn to autumn...its B-e-a-utiful!.
I'm a big fan of the Frame purses...they are vintage, but can instantly be moderned-up with a snazzy fabric.
So for a purse pattern to design, I suggest doing one for a DOUBLE purse frame....
I've seen 2 types of the frames, one where its like a small purse frame
within a large purse frame(The inner frame has clasps just like the
outer), and the other where the inside frame acts more like a divider.
I love to see a pattern for either of the frames.
I think a pattern for this type of frame purse would really compliment
the already fabulous frame purse patterns and kits you offer.
For a purse/bag kit....(again here i go with the frames) I suggest making a kit for a frame Wallet (rather then a purse). One that is relatively thin(like the width of the frame), can hold your cash on one side and then your credit cards and photo ID on the other side.
Actually both of my suggestions could be for a either the Pattern or the Kit, which ever would work out easier....
Please get in touch Sami and I'll organize getting your Baguette purse to you. Congrats! Sorry to all of those who didn't get lucky this time. I'm sure it won't be long before I have else something crafty tasty to give away...
