Simply Nifty Bags
Meet the Maker
Hi! Welcome to my shop. So, you want to get to know a little bit about me? My name is Diane. I was born and raised in Colorado. I have lived in West Virginia, Nashville and currently North Carolina.
As a child growing up my mom was always doing something crafty, usually knitting, crocheting or sewing. She encouraged her love of crafting with me in so many ways. I can remember doing paint by numbers, the Tandy leather kits, making tissue paper flowers. She taught me hand embroidery, cross stitch and how to crochet. In junior high I took home economics class and started to learn to sew and again my mother taught me a few tips and tricks for sewing. I made myself a few clothing items and then life got crazy for many years, and I didn't sew again until later.
I met my 2nd husband in 1999 after being a single mom with 4 boys. We moved from Colorado to West Virginia where he decided he wanted to make knives. Long story short, we got involved in pre-1840 rendezvous where he could sell his handmade knives. In order to do that he had to have clothing for the time period. Well after not sewing for 15 years I started making clothing for the time period for the family so we could attend. Then I started sewing the men’s clothing to sell at events that we went to which included waist coats and knee breeches. We did that for 8 years and then our health got in the way where we could no longer do the rendezvous and our kids had grown up.
I still wanted to sew but wasn't sure what I wanted to make. I decided I would make my own purse. I was having a hard time finding one that I liked with the things I wanted it to have. So, I created my own purse. I have found some patterns and tweaked them to my liking and started selling purses online about 6 years ago. I was formally Diane's Diversions (Di's Diversions) and that shop name came about because I was making all kinds of items.... tile coasters, crochet beanies and scarves as well as purses. I have found I really enjoy making bags and am keeping my focus on what makes me happy.
I take pride in the purses and bags I create. I cut out one piece at a time from the fabric, so the placement looks good on the bag or purse. That could mean 3 pieces, or it could mean 10 pieces, each one cut separately. Yes, I may waste a lot of fabric this way, but I would rather have a good-looking purse rather than worry about wasting fabric.
I hope you enjoy my shop and thank you for shopping handmade items on goimagine.
How it’s Made
Okay so I like blue and I like flowers so when I saw this fabric I just had to get it. I could picture this purse in my mind.
I took the pattern pieces and laid them out on the fabric before I ever started cutting. Moving them around several times. I always like to make sure I am going to have a good layout of the subjects on the purse. Once I found placements I liked, I cut them out. Then cut out the lining and interfacing. I sew on the zipper for the bottom pocket first and then work my way up to the main zipper on purse.Once it is all stitched up I turn it right side out and finish up the seam. All seams are inclosed. I make the strap and finish the purse. I use fleece interfacing for a little added protection for your phone which also adds stability to the purse.
Sewing the purse together is so much fun and exciting to see the finished outcome.
