Tip of The Month:

If you are making a handbag for the first time, do not choose stripes or directional prints (directional prints have characters going in one direction. For example, dogs, people, trees, etc. that are all facing the same direction).

These directional prints complicate making your purse because the seams and directions need to be matched up in order to "look right" in the finished product. Also, extra fabric is needed in order to compensate and match up the directions.
