I found these three place mats on sale for less than a dollar each - so whether I make purses or use them when I dine alone (or when three of us dine in an eclectic frame of mind) I'm still the winner! I had this chain in my purse supply drawer and think the the bronze will look good with the melon and green mat - hmm, I mean purse!
The mat can be cut in half to make a smaller purse shown here. I love this body hugger style when I fly out of the house and have no need to carry everything - including the kitchen sink!
I used a pink drapery tieback for the strap which worked beautifully with the orange zipper! and yellow lining.
and this mat was so nice and heavy - no lining required. I just stitched up each side and added the strap. It's available HERE.
Very, very cool! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the purses! It is so hard for me to see something other than what it is. Keep showing me and I might catch on. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAren't placemats just the best for making little bags.
ReplyDeleteJust awaiting our imaginations.
I love your creative side and the way you most always have something in your stash to finish your projects. Maybe it will rub off on me.
