So what is my new class all about? Here's a trailer!

PS: FULL-SIZE PATTERN PIECES ARE INCLUDED WITH THE CLASS :)

 

 

This class is about getting to grips with purse and bag frames.  In the first half of the class we focus on purse frames.  I have a strong belief that in us there is a purse frame purse addict waiting to be let out!  Purse frames look so boutique-bought and expensive, they are perfect stash-busters and they take no time to make.  In a hurry for an exclusive-looking clutch for your party/wedding/cruise?  Need a glamorous present for your friend/mum/aunty?  Need it by tonight/tomorrow?   Don't want to spend a fortune, but want an expensive looking result?  A purse frame purse is the perfect answer!  

I can see why purse frames don't look approachable in the craft store, they don't come with patterns and the idea of gluing is scary!  I'm here to help with all of that. In this class I show you slowly and clearly how draft your own purse frame patterns, then I show you how to stitch up your purse and finally, how to glue your purse into the frame (without gluing your fingers/eyes/feet together!)  

 

 

The second half of the class focuses on internal bag frames. I show you step by step how to make this deeeeee-licious carpet bag.  The bag features a cool (and very practical) bag frame similar to the frames that doctor / Mary Poppin's bags use.  This full-featured carpet bag looks extra special with it's smart lock, roomy pockets, leather bag handles and hard base, complete with feet.  It has 'looks fabulous anywhere' kind of style!  

 I made this rather yummy version in Cotton and Steel and pleather fabric, and it's mine, all mine! 

 

We'll be sending out the Craftsy Class discount newsletter tonight at 7.30 (GMT) and we'll send it a few more times over the coming weeks.  For now our Newsletter is the only place in which you will be able to access the 50% off class discount.

I really hope you enjoy!  Looking forward to your comments and questions! X
