I finally received my “u” shaped interchangeable purse closure… and of course I couldn’t wait to try it.

Just unscrew the nut and slip the bar out of the sleeve  and attach another bag body. With a very small amount of fabric and I came up with this brown bag.  This was a first try. Next time think I’ll put a gusset in the bottom and make the sides bigger and  more angled.

A trip to the fabric store was in order…. Just look at the possibilities!

Then I really scored with this fun book found at the bookstore. It has all kinds of nifty designs and workable patterns.  I’m excited to try some!
