Where girls read  for fun 


Purse Mania! September 2016 Book Club

9/19/2016

0 Comments

 
Saturday was the first meeting of the third year of Progressionista! How exciting! At this meeting we had a lot of fun with purses. After learning how to design and create handbags-- we were given materials to make our very own coin purses from scratch. Just like these magic bags we made, our new read "Phoebe: The Fashion Fairy" is all about a fashion-forward fairy who has her own special bag she carries around.
​
Our September progressionista is creative artist and purse designer Ciara! After learning to sew in college, she took her art to the nextlevel by teaching herself to create purses/ She has designed a variety of purses for every occassion and is planning on opening her very own shop selling them! Her artistic journey was a great inspiration for all of our new and returning girls!
