Lauren works with leather, upholstery fabrics, and many thrift store finds. Here are some of her varied and gorgeous purses:
Below Laurel showed us how she constructs the lining with all sorts of pockets before attaching it to the purse.
The one below is yummy, soft leather. Straps are a *magic* braid. So beautiful.
Next up was Sue with scarves (and a few purses). So pretty, fresh and totally amazing! She also uses some surprising finds to make her scarves and purses.
An infinity scarf made from men's suits
A scarf made from curtains!
A scarf with interesting ruching
This handbag gets its handle from a thrift store belt
And this one has a handle from Home Depot
More cool handles
And purse from a repurposed sweater
A scarf from coordinating men's ties
And lastly, polymer clay buttons from Lisa. Lisa is a fearless, adventuresome, original creative!
Above are some of her button sets and below are tools of the trade.
With two sided tape, Lisa demonstrated how buttons change the look of any garment.
