Part of the Home Ec sewing class I enrolled in back in 2011 was to make a leather purse. It only took 3.5 years but I finally made “project 20”! I love love love how it turned out. Using leather wasn’t that difficult other than I did buy way too much! I was at Joann’s Fabric for hours contemplating the fabrics for the bag. I wanted something that semi fit my photography brand, had personality, + class. The little pocket inside was suppose to have a zipper but I’m a stickler for things to match. I couldn’t find a small enough brown zipper so I decided a button would have to do! I decided to add the little “feet” to the bottom of the purse as well as a piece of cardboard + padding between the two layers. That just adds the right amount of stability for it to stand up on it’s own. I love that I can now carry around a one of a kind purse that looks high end but didn’t cost me a fortune!
