If you're thinking about sewing a leather handbag on your domestic sewing machine...

...DON'T.

And if you're thinking about sewing an ostrich leather and velvet handbag on your domestic sewing machine...

...I'll save a seat for you in the nuthouse.

I adore the leather on this one. I only had enough to make one bag with it (you can see I had to use a damaged piece to even get that much) and thought it looked best with the green upholstery velvet. If I'd used it with the green & gold brocade I probably couldn't bring myself to part with it.
Speaking of which, today these handbags are priced at $2,000 each. This price may become more reasonable after I've had a lie down and a good cry.

I feel for you. After killing many a domestic I bought an industrial machine. Bags look good though.
Yep - get an industrial machine. Your life will never be the same (she says, having just bought a new domestic machine....).
The bags look great!!! Have a good cry and get it all out of your system!
OUCH .. I feel for you, I killed a machine a few years back with similar dreams ...
Your machine still okay, isn't it? Where do you buy ostrich leather?
Awwww, the bags look terrific. But yes, sometimes the ole' domestic just can't cut it. I'm pretty sure that some woman would actually pay $2000 for a one of a kind designer bag made out of Ostrich leather anyway. Keep the price and go for it! hehehe
