Burda Style For people who sew
I want to learn how to make bags - Where do I start?
This section is sponsored by
I just came across this website, and I am so happy I did! It looks like there is a lot of useful information here.
Anyhow, I want to learn how to make handbags/purses. I would really appreciate any advice as to where I should start.
Are there any specific tutorials/books/video series that you can recommend?
I have no experience with this stuff, so I really do need to start from the beginning.
I appreciate any tips!

Here are a couple of free classes: http://www.craftsy.com/class/bag-making-basics-reversible-tote-and-zipper-pouch/148 http://www.craftsy.com/class/bag-making-basics-drawstring-bag-and-bucket-bag/149
And here’s one that you pay for: http://www.craftsy.com/class/design-your-own-handbag/144
I haven’t taken them because I am more interested in dressmaking, but I have taken a few other classes at Craftsy (namely: Sew Retro: Bombshell Dress; Sew Retro: Startlet Suit Jacket; and The Couture Dress).
