Do you love finding new Purse Making Tools?
If you know anything about sewing, you know how thrilling it is to walk down the aisles of a well-stocked sewing machine store. It really doesn’t matter if you need an item; just the sheer awe of a new find can send joy bumps down your spine.
Fabric-aholics know what I mean. You can walk into a fabric shop knowing that you need ZERO fabric, but something jumps out at you and pulls you towards it with such force you wonder if the fabric and you were destined to be together.
For buyers & window shoppers
Maybe not all shoppers are like this; some are content to window shop and get to know all of the amazing gadgets there are on the market, which incidentally, in many instances, can make our sewing so much easier.
Granted, the items I’m about to share with you may not be for today or tomorrow, but if you love to sew, you love innovation and are given to techy gadgets, you’re gonna love dreaming about having at least one of these items to include in your sewing arsenal.
Here are two useful tools.
An Electric Rotary Fabric Cutter: At first sight, many of my students went into panic mode. After having used a pair of scissors for so many years, it was a bit of a switch. But after the first cut, no-one wanted to touch their scissors again.
I like my electric rotary cutter because it is quick, it allows me to cut several layers of fabric in one shot, and it’s easy on the hands… No more cramping.

Post Sewing Machines: While most of my handbags are structured, I do make fabric purses also, so I thought I would throw this one in for you bag lovers who really enjoy making fabric or leather purses too.
A post sewing machine can look a tad bit odd at first glance, but the thought quickly slips to the side when you see this super machine in action. This sweet machine has not made it into my sewing machine family as yet, but a girl can dream, can’t she?
The post machine is many bag makers’ dream machine. What I really love about these sewing machines is the ease you can topstitch to give your purse a professional finish; the post allows you to get into areas most machines would not allow you to venture in.
The post sewing machine is a gem when it comes to tossing your purse over the post to sew your bag’s bottom. The finish is amazing!
So I’ve included two possible must have’s. The first is a time saver and is very affordable considering the time and effort it saves you and the other? Well, it could be the same if it fits your purse construction needs.
I was indeed frightened when you introduced me to the rotary fabric cutter. However when I got the hang of it I just had to have one. It has been a tremendous help in my purse making. Love it.
You sure conquered your fears quickly… now look at your bags!
