How To Make a Boho Artisan Fringe Flap Bag Part 1 of 3

Part 1 of 3 This is a very detailed tutorial on how to create your own upcycled, artisan, collage fringe, boho, flap bag. This is basically a free, three part class, totaling over two hours! We will cover everything it takes to bring this bag from beginning to end. I will talk about materials used, collage fringe, trims, construction of the purse, making a strap, lining and so much more! You will be surprised how doable this is to make if you simply know the steps and the order in which it is constructed. I sold these for many many years, now that I have retired from selling, I am sharing all my tips and tricks with you. Whether you want to make a beautiful bag for yourself, make as gifts, or sell like I did, I know you will find value in this one of a kind, impossible to find elsewhere video. Have fun!!!

    You are the most beautiful soul,❤ sharing your unique talent I am in awe of you, Traci. I'm 64 yrs old and just retired to concentrate on my bag making and I love Op shopping today I found a very unique leather jacket with bat sleeves (I'm keeping this one) for $15 Oz dollars what a bargain and beautiful reds and greens brocaide pillow slips that I'm going to make this style. You have been my bag maker idol now for many years, and I thank you so much for giving me the confidence to do this. I knew I had it in me. I just didn't know where to start. As I said before, please make a Facebook book page so we can share our creations if you don't want to operate it I will. I just hope one day to meet you and thank you for changing my life ❤❤❤❤ps I'm in the middle of making a scarf Traci style of course lol

I sew everything by hand as of right now. I have a tutorial I need to watch about how to use my sewing machine & I just need to sit down & finish it!! I really need a nicer machine so maybe one day soon I can get one. I'm piecing together a type of gypsy looking vest/kimono thing right now among putting fringe on crochet bags I've ordered & turning those into gypsy style bags kinda like yours. Thank you for all you do & showing us the ropes!!! Keep more tutorials coming! I'll watch every single one!!!

    Hey Tracy ; with your new course ( courses ) are you going to offer a kit? So , basically all the student needs to do is literally FOLLOW ALONG STEP BY STEP bc everything needed for the course is in the box or just get everything needed on the list on their own ? ?! I use to order courses thru Craftsy and they offered this option and a pattern would automatically be shipped or PDF with the course . Now it wasn’t like that for every course but they did do that and then u either paid for the course alone and the pattern came with it and then they gave us a list of what we needed and we could go to the Craftsy shop and purchase the same products used as well . Possibly more of one thing verses another so the project didht turn out exactly the same . Anyhow u get the idea .
