Here is the second project from the Garage Sale Fabric.
After completing the kitchen cabinet curtains, there was one little piece of the buffalo check fabric left. Little Cat A spied the possibility of a purse in that little scrap of fabric. She went through some of my other fabric scraps and we came up with this.
Little Cat A's new purse
We bought the iron-on patch at Maker Faire 2008. The tan linen square is secured with Stitch Witchery (my fave) because I sewed the sides of the purse together before I thought of attaching the pocket/decoration. Um, duh… The finish purse (not including straps) is approx 12″ x 12″.
Thrifty Side Note: Curtains from IKEA are one of the best deals going (especially if you can buy them on sale). A couple of years ago, I bought 2 pair of tan linen curtains and after cutting and hemming them to floor length, I have used the scraps for making pillow covers and recovering the seats of 2 chairs AND I still have some fabric left. You can also use them for tablecloths.
