Friday Late Night Sew In Pictures, etc

I call it my Friday Late Night because I got a late start, I was under the weather for most of the day yesterday and of course got Madison to bed later than I wanted. I have lots of things I've been wanting to work on and once I sat down to start on my project I couldn't decide which one to tackle. I knew I wanted to do a bag of some kind. So I decided to go with my most recent idea of a purse I wanted to copy. I have this faux leather bag I really like, but lately I like carrying something handmade as much as I can. Not to mention sometimes when I get working on a project I sometimes get to where I want to finish it no matter what the time even though it was 4am! I guess I get a little crazy with my projects sometimes. It also made it interesting because it wasn't from a pattern or anything just ideas in my head, I had to change some things or modify my ideas or make a new idea if I goofed and did not want to fix it! I did have fun and glad I had a chance to just sit down and work on a project; I should do it more often! :) So, without further ado; here are the pictures of my purse!

the bag on the right is what I was inspired from b/c

after all was said and done; I did not make a copy! :)

bag laid out

inside of the bag; I was going to do a zipper

but decided to use my magnetic clasps instead :)

close up of the handle; I had some difficulty with it

because my first handle was too thin but

the one I went with was too wide and

I didn't want to just fold it over and

ended up making it like that on accident and

I like how it turned out because it's different!

So, let me know what you think; leave comments! I would love some comments and I will try to get more pictures of my projects up soon; as well as some of the projects I will be working on after next week. I wasn't able to do my shopping this weekend but will get it next week. Stay tuned! :)
