Stitchin’ Heaven Howdy

Like picking the right fabric isn’t enough when making a handbag or tote.  Chosing the hardware and accessories is like a science almost… Ok, not really, it’s not that serious, but there are a ton of options out there. Not only that, but when you do decide, how does it work?  Or how do you incorporate it into your project?

We really do well with our Perse Anality Club as with any of our handbag patterns.  So many to do with so little time!  With that, we sell a lot of hardware and are often approached on what to use with what pattern and how to use it, etc.   So, I’ve come up with our top 10 best selling purse accessories and even included a couple of nifty tutorials.  Please check them out and let us know what you think!

Here’s our list:

1. Grommets

2. Silver Purse Feet from Ellen Medlock (see tutorial here)

3. Silvertone Purse Hardware by Exclusively You

4. Texture Magic

5. Silver Chain from Ellen Medlock

6. Shape ‘N Create Bag & Tote Stabilizer from Nancy’s Notions

7. Fringe

8. Magnetic Snaps

9. Purse handles (you just cant have a bag without a handle!)

10. Yo-Yo’s (click here for a another great tutorial from Lazy Girl Designs )

Wow, maybe I should have done 20 best. I got down to ten and could still keep going.

Is there an accessory that you “must have” that you didn’t see on our list?  We would love to know about what you love and hate! Or better yet, is there something that you just love and we don’t carry it? Please let us know!
