Tote & Purse Kits

Looking for the perfect bag to complement your favorite styles can be a challenging task. However, customizing your own bag can make it easier. Fortunately, Missouri Star offers a wide range of exquisite tote & purse kits to help you find the right fit for your specific taste! From zipper pouches to lunchbox totes, and colorful purse kits, too, we have everything you need to create the perfect bag to keep all your daily essentials organized!


But there are so many options to choose from … how do you narrow it down? Choosing the right tote & purse kit depends on several factors, including your skill level, style preferences, and intended use. Here are some tips to help you select the right one for you:


➤Skill Level: Consider your sewing experience. If you're a beginner, look for tote & purse kits labeled as "beginner-friendly" or "easy-to-make." These kits typically come with clear instructions and simpler designs; if you happen to choose a Missouri Star exclusive pattern, there will also be a free video tutorial to help you every step of the way! Intermediate and advanced sewists can explore tote & purse kits with more intricate designs and techniques.


➤Style and Design: We have so many different handbag kits to sew, from small and insulated lunchbox tote kits to book bags and deep yet stylish purse kits. Think about the type of tote or purse you want to make. Do you prefer a classic tote bag, a crossbody purse, or a clutch? Look for kits that match your desired style and have designs that appeal to you. Pay attention to details like pockets, closures, and strap options.


➤Materials and Fabric: Check the materials included in the kit. Some tote & purse kits come with pre-cut fabric pieces, while others may require you to cut the fabric yourself. Consider the fabric type and color options available in the kit and choose one that suits your taste and the intended use of the tote or purse.


➤Included Accessories: Take note of the additional accessories included in the kit, such as zippers, buttons, and other bag hardware. Ensure that the kit provides all the necessary components to complete the project without needing to purchase additional supplies separately.


➤Budget: Your budget may also come into play when choosing a kit. Tote & purse kits vary in price depending on factors like the complexity of the design, quality of materials, and brand reputation. Determine how much you're willing to spend and find a kit that offers good value for your money.
