So many purses

Love learning new skills. I use mostly vintage fabric…. Reimagined ….and the type of bag is so important to show off the beauty of the fabric

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We absolutely love your passion for creating beautiful bags—there's something so special about reimagining vintage fabrics and giving them new life through thoughtful design.

You're absolutely right—the type of bag plays a huge role in showcasing the character and charm of each fabric. Your eye for pairing style with substance is inspiring, and it's wonderful to hear how much you enjoy learning new skills along the way. We appreciate you taking the time to review the book. We would love to see your renditions of the bag on our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook. Happy sewing.
