Hi Everyone! Welcome to the course, Sewing Tiny Purses!
Over this 4-part series, with Shari and I will bring you some tips and tricks to help take the fear out fo sewing these tiny little treasures! As we begin, I'll be sharing a fun video with you showcasing many of the bags we have at Pixie Faire filled with personalized accessories and tiny props to give each purse it's own story.
Before we move on to Part One, I wanted to get your input so we can bring you exactly what you're looking for! Let us know in the comments below, what you'd like to see addressed when it comes to making tiny purses. Is it the fabric scale, the hardware, sewing machine settings, or something else?
Ok, Are you ready to see a few of my favorite little purses? Lets' jump right in!

Deanna, Coke bottles can be found on eBay. Type in: Miniature 3" Coke Bottles. You can replace the word “coke” for Pepsi, 7Up, or Orange Crush etc. Also, look for just the carton they come in by itself by typing in “Miniature 3” Coke Carton". Sometimes the bottles come in the carton. Be VERY careful when reading the description! You DON’T WANT 2 1/2", 8", miniature doll house size, magnets or anything Barbie size. They can be mixed in the list.Some are way more expensive than others so check frequently. Keep looking and you can get a great deal. Hope this helps!

I sew for nieces and a nephew. Need to send outfits for each when I sew. Bags for boy doll outfits would be appreciated.

I love purses both for me and my dolls. I also love tiny items for my dolls. I am always on the lookout for these things. Wondering how you made the Magnolia and Whole Foods purses. So cute.

Where can I get the coke bottles in scale 1:3? The one’s I’ve found on etsy are smaller. Thanks. Sounds fun!

Is there a method to re-size 18" doll patterns to smaller sizes using the doll’s hand size? Sort of like using the doll’s head size for hats resizing.

This is a wonderful topic, and timely for me. I’ve found the purses and bags to be a great seller at craft shows, and have been focused on making some of these bags for every show. I’m looking forward to seeing what you have to show us!
