Good morning all (well it is in the UK!) thanks for adding me here I hope to pop in a lot as I love all things sewing.
We have just moved back from Southern Spain where we have lived for 15 years I am retired now and have a part time hobby making and selling fabric handbags.
Nice to meet you all

Hello!   :)

I have a persistent yearning to make bags, but never seem to get much beyond buying patterns.  I have made a number of bags from clothes bought in charity shops - usually small sized denim skirts, which lend themselves beautifully to this.

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Welcome to the forum and do keep us updated with you bag makes.  I'm another one who hankers after making one but never done more than a simple tote.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Welcome from me too Lizzielogs. I recently located to South Devon from the South East. I too often think about making bags but so far have only got as far as totes. Lots of ideas in my head just need to put them into practice. Would love to see some of your bags.

Oh golly I'm FAR to tight to buy patterns I just take photos of bags I like and wing it!

I would be happy to show my bags, is there a 'right' place to do this on the forum - don't want to do the wrong thing as I've only just got here!?
