Hot off the presses - or guess I should say, the sewing machine: A carpet bag designed by Sarah C. of Two Sister's Fancy Goods for my yet unfinished Izannah Walker doll from Dixie Redmond's online class. Here's a picture of the carpet bag I made this afternoon - it was FUN!
This was a practice version, to get the feel of how to make it. It is lined, has a pocket and real leather trim. I wanted to get over the learning curve before I used real nice tapestry fabric and this is not bad for a first try.
I had some doll fun today! Hope you got some too - Julie

This would be a wonderful size purse for American Girl dolls, too.

The online class registration for 2011 is closed, but there is rumor there might be a 2012 class.
What a lovely bag, it looks great! I love the leather trimming. Thank you so much for your detailed instruction on turning (last post). The very same day I got the tools from G.Wilson's, so it will be exciting to try it out!

Thanks Monica. You will love dollmaking all the more with the proper tools. It might take a few tries to get used to them, but once you stuff a doll with hemostats and a stuffing fork, nothing else will do!
