All the bits and pieces you need to fashion a fabulous carryall
by Deepika Prakash

The number-one fashion accessory continues to be the handbag. Today's designers are showing all sorts of shapes, sizes, and fabrications, and the sewing world has caught on. It's easier than ever to find the stabilizers, handles, snaps, feet, rings, hooks, and buckles if you know where to look. In this article, Deepika Prakash, new Threads author and founder of PatternReview.com, outlines the various hardware options and tells us where to find them and how to use them.
