  1. http://www.made-by-rae.com/2009/02/free-buttercup-bag-sewing-pattern.html - a great free pattern/tutorial for a lovely bag - simple but looks complex - I think it is great because you can easily print off the pattern pieces (fit onto A4 paper) and the instructions are really clear to follow!
    I am now following your blog thanks to the lovely Lisa Lam of U-Handblog.

  2. kitschy coo is the (other!) queen of tutes: http://kitschycoo.blogspot.com/2010/08/tutorial-drawstring-gym-pe-kit-backpack.html

    I'm not much of a sewer, so I like that she writes instructions easy enough for people like me to understand.

  9. Cute purse! The first zippered pouch I ever made was using this tutorial from Noodlehead... http://noodleheads.blogspot.com/2009/10/tutorial-lil-cutie-pouches.html
    It's one of my favorites because it got me sewing zippers--so easy.

  12. This tutorial by jcaroline creative is great:

    http://jcarolinecreative.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=JC&Screen=HOBO_BAG

    Everything is specified (good for people like me who like exact instructions!), so you know just what you need beforehand. There's also step-by-step photos, and of course a great result at the end, it makes an adorable hobo bag! ^_&

    This one is for a super-cute kitty coin purse, you should definitely take a look at the pictures! There's a printable pattern and closeups of the embroidery and other embellishments to make it clear what you need to do.

  18. Ok, rereading the giveaway instructions(!), I'd like to add that the Amy Butler bag looks gorgeous, and that's enough to go on my list :-)

    2nd tutorial is this japanese coin purse

    I love the shape of the purse, and the tutorial seems really clear, with lots of photos.

  21. Your fabric patterns are so cute. I am currently addicted to making purses too. I was hooked on mini zip purse but have since moved on to metal frame purses. Their puffy-ness makes it oh so cute =)
