Pin It
I finally got around to finishing up my pleated purse. I decided to do it with a Moda Blush charm pack I had. (Got it off eBay) Can't believe how long it took me to finish it up. I just kept putting it off and reading or doing stuff around the house that actually needed it. Poor thing was just sitting and waiting on me for almost a month now!
The material I used for the liner was a table cloth my mom found at a thrift store. I didn't have anything that came close to matching so I figured it would have to do. I am running so low on fabric it's killing me! I have tons of small stuff like 1/2 yards, fat quarters, scraps, stuff like that but nothing for if I want to make something big.
Anyways, I got the idea for the purse from Bolsa Chica and My Spare Time. They really have some cute ones! I didn't really follow their instructions but just sewed the squares together until it was the size I wanted and then went from there. No pattern, just cutting it out and sewing it up. It was actually a little big so I cut the bottom row of squares off and used some of that for the pockets on the inside. I also put some batting in the straps too since I love big bags and always seem to carry the house in them so hoping that will help pad them a little bit. The zipper on the inside was a 14" only because that was the only size zipper I had left other than a 22" :) Guess I need to get some more zippers too! I told you I am running low on everything!!
Hope you all have a great weekend and a very Happy Mother's Day!!
