I don’t really consider myself to be a crafty person. I made my kitchen curtains but that was all straight lines.  But if you are crafty and you love purses you should check out U*Handbag, a blog all about making your own handbags. I came across this site when I was scoping some other purse blogs and I am so glad I found it. Lisa Lam offers sewing advice, purse patterns and tips for beginners, like moi. She also includes some other crafty projects to try and even gives soup recipes to keep you warm through this chilly winter.

I usually buy my purses but U*Handbag has inspired me enough that maybe I’ll try making my own. Maybe.
