I am definitely a Bag Hag!

I have bought a bag! I know I make bags, why did I buy one? I have NOT bought a bag since 2007 and I have made over 100 bags, why this one? This one is called the skirt purse from Thirty One and it has purse skirts you can take off and put on.

This is the color I decide to buy black leather with the red skirt.

I am planning to make my own purse skirts! I love this idea! I think it is so smart!
Here are a couple skirt tutorials on how to make your own purse skirts....

This skirt tutorial is from 365 Days to Simplicity.

and

This tutorial is from Joy's Jots, Shots and What Nots.

These would make great semi-homemade gifts. You could buy the bag and make the skirts! I am not a Thirty One consultant but you can locate one in your area through their site. It is a great way to support women in your area.

Thanks!

Thank-you for featuring my tutorial. I don't usually buy bags for that price either, but decided to help my niece-in-law out and buy one from her. When I received it, I decided I could go crazy making the skirts! And yes, I've bought a couple of purses for my daughters for Christmas, and they will get a bag full of skirts, especially made from old school T-shirts showing the school logos.

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work. Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped key fobs with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template PDF. Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template. Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later. We used a 1.5

After you find an A-line skirt pattern , I am using One Yard Wonders 101 template . Make a muslin of your skirt! It only takes a few minutes to make a muslin version.
