I love this! I’m 72 yrs old & neither of my daughters in law want my costume & beaded jewelry or clothes. So I will use some of my clothes etc. to make them purses that they can pass on to my granddaughters and give them a memory card in the pockets. Thank you for this wonderful video.
If I was to do this kind of thing I would definitely add feathers, lace, beads, fringe, pearls, opals, this whole video had me feeling like I was back in the 60s , which I adore immensely.. ❤
As you drew the 'perfect V' on the back, I realize how your boho 'scrappy' look works so well. There is a foundation of carefully planned and laid out work. Then the uneven, fraying, mixed pieces on top. It works because of the good underlying plan. Thanks for your teaching Traci.
I just love your stuff. One thing I noticed is that you are pulling your jump rings straight open. This will weaken the metal and make them prone to breaking. Instead, you should twist them apart - it's hard to explain in words, but if you watch a video it is just as easy as doing it the other way.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I’m a child of the 60’s and can’t seem to move forward! Lol!!! Love, Love, Love me some Boho! 😂
I need a new bag and love what I saw so decided to follow along. Then I saw I have the same necklace and was already thinking of using it! ❤ I do have back and neck problems but I could use this for special occasions rather Han every day use. Thanks for sharing and instructing!!! ❤❤❤
Traci, I just recently retired with the plan of starting a sewing/craft business. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your awesome tutorials. You have inspired me to take my creativity to the next level. I am making some Magnolia Pearl jeans today, and can't wait to see what I come up with next week. ❤❤❤
I'm going to make a long corset to the knees underneath your layered lace dress with your ankle white boots would be so cute to add these to your your tutorial
Yes I have a enamel leaf necklace if mins I can't wear metals but this sure will be the way I can show it off. And a sterling bracelet too. I've been crocheting crossbody bags for my teen friends .
I'm totally in awe with your very soft spoken instruction of making this leather fringe purse! I grew up riding horses and soo wished someone was as knowledgeable as you are way back then because it would have brought more femininity to horsemanship. Leather and lace perfection would have been nice to purchase way back in the day!♥️🙏👍
Awesome tutorial! I love your creative process and relaxed approach to creating your art. And this bag is art! Thanks for sharing your techniques with us. 💞🙏
Ive been obsessed with your videos the past few days. I absolutely adore this purse. I would have never thought i could make one. Your instructions are spot on. Your voice is calming and slow enough i can watch and comprehend at the same time. I love that. Some people talk to fast. Love your videos
Very cool! And very generous of you to share your techniques. Your videos solve many,many design puzzles for me. And you are a really good teacher! Just wow.
I am just lost in your talent of creating these beautiful bags. I used to see some of your stuff years ago, but this time I am taking what you teach and I am going to make some bags for myself with what you teach. I love how you create beauty from repurposing garments and pieces of fabrics, lace, and jewelry from here and there. Please continue to share.🥰🥰🥰
Tracy you are amazing Every tutorial is my favourite. love your work you are one talented lady and I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you so much Diane Australia❤😊
What a great tutorial! I have been enjoying several of your podcasts, and have just subscribed. I'm so thrilled to be inspired by your excellent and upbeat tutorials! I'll make a purse or two -- or maybe more! So happy to have found you! 💗 💗 💗
Very nice little bag. When I make my bags now, I attach my handles with rivets from Kamsnaps and I bought one of their rivet machines. And I also use their plastic snaps all the time. They also have decorative snaps as well. I’ve had too many of my bags straps ripped out. Also, I sew my linings a little differently than you do. I taper the Linings of my bags so they’re actually narrower and they fit nicely inside. I start them the same at the top and after about 2 inches I start to taper the bag a little bit so that when I get to the bottom, it’s probably tapered in a quarter inch on each side. I learned this trick from another bag maker on TH-cam. And that works well for me.
Hi Traci....I am working on making this bag. I am cutting fringe and would like to know approx. how many pieces of fringe I would need to get it to look like yours. I like the fullness of it. Thanks so much...BTW, I didn't realize how much the fringe actually costs. After you cut up a jacket, and determine how many 10" pieces you get, it can be quite expensive. Moving forward I will look closely at the way the jacket is constructed and then determine whether or not it is worth the price. This is something you might want to emphasize for beginners.....like me! 💗💚💙
I am enthralled that such a simple shape can evolve into such a luxurious look! I love all your bags and thank you for sharing your skills I’m hoping to make some similar festival bag for craft fair coming up but have no idea on how to price them. Obviously using thrifted items, but some of your vintage jewellery pieces look expensive ! Would you mind giving an idea of what is a reasonable price for the bags ? Thanks so much
Thank you so much! My jewelry pieces are thrifted and not expensive😊Pricing questions are the most difficult for me to answer. There are SO many variables. Without knowing where a person is selling, the materials used, quality, their following, demand etc. it's almost impossible to answer. When I priced a bag it was always a bit of a struggle. My bags averaged about $250-$350, but my bags sold anywhere from $79 to $600😊😊😊
Thanks for the pricing average. It’s tough for us to put a number on Art. I’ve been working my way backwards on your playlist of entertaining videos. So Fun! 🧡Fantastic work! 👑
Just to add.. yes it does make a difference if the tabs are pushed in or out. It should be in. If out, stress on the fabric can pull them outwith just a slight angle. When in.. stress on the fabric would have to be manipulated around the bend and force the bend to open to pull the closure out.
i have collected so many bits and pieces and ready to begin and just found your video. I dont have a sewing machine so l guess more hand stitching and an amazing glue gun will work?
These really are a work of art and I'm sure they take a lot of time to make. Approximately how much do you sell these for? Thank you for your generous lessons.
You could leave the top of the suede in tack and just cut to within a 1/2 inch then swe that on add random loose fringe on top then lay lace over the top.

Hey Traci❣️ I LOVE THIS soo much! It’s perfect. Just wondering, do you ever save the jacket liners to use for anything?
Thank you 💖 I rarely save the jacket liners, sometimes they are unique or pretty enough to use on other projects. 😍
Thank you for another awesome video! 😍
Always my pleasure💖💖💖💖
Love it Traci! Thanks so much! T'rese
