Lazy Girl Designs Offers a Great Way to Make a Quilted Handbag for an Adventurous Crafter
By Francis Sinclair

Lazy Girl Designs is a private company started by Joan Hawley, who fell in love with quilting and wanted to start a business dedicated to her passion. Hawley created patterns for the quilted handbag in response to requests while she was working at a quilting shop. She maintains that the point of the company was that she was creating fashions that would suit her – she is searching for the perfect quilted handbag. The plus side of purchasing patterns from Lazy Girl Designs is that making a quilted handbag for yourself, like Hawley, would let you make your own perfect purse.
There is a wide variety of handbags that can be made courtesy of Lazy Girl Designs. And as per the company's name and philosophy, the patterns in making a quilted handbag are easy to follow, and result in charming and adorable purses and handbags.

What Kind of a Quilted Handbag Can I Make?

The Chloe Handbag is a sassy little number with a fun design that is accented by a curtain-styled tassel at the end of the strap. Part of the Goddess collection, the pattern allows for optional embellishments, including the buttons or beads. The Gracie is another fun quilted handbag design, which is sold as a vintage piece, harking back to the silent film era – a flapper-like bag, with a whopping six inside-pockets. The Chelsea is an interesting choice, just like its name: an adorable blend of a tote and a backpack, the Chelsea can be used as either, and is versatile in its use – young schoolchildren, students and adults can use the Chelsea Handbag.

This is an especially good quilted handbag choice because its good for a wide range of buyers – children can make themselves their own bags; a great project and gift for the Christmas or Hanukah holidays; a college coed can also benefit from the Chelsea – a great idea for the coed, because quilting is not only an artistic hobby, but a calming one, so the Chelsea is the prime choice from the Lazy Girls Designs.

Can I Make More Than Just a Quilted Handbag?

Besides handbags, there are other choices for crafty quilters: if you tired of the same, fake leather option, how about quilting yourself a checkbook cover? If your doorknob is an eyesore, or simply a bore, creating a knob pull, cleverly named A-Door-Ables, and hanging it, will add a great conversation piece, and you can keep your keys, remote control or other smaller items that can be easily lost.
