These Quilted Rag Purses are really fun to make! I had a wonderful time taking my sewing machine out of month balls and actually using it for something besides hemming!
This is my first purse.
The material was given to me by my friend Lucy. The one that helped me with the quilt square. Lucy was so generous with her fabric I also made this one.
I know, looks like the first one but the placement of the butterflies are different. I just couldn't stop at 2 so here's another one!
I had to go to the fabric store and purchase buttons and saw the printed pattern and had to buy some fabric to make the above purse. That's alright, because I really enjoy making them! I ended up making 4 of the blue Quilted Rag Purses. The fourth one is very similar to the first 2.
Black and red together are one of my favorite color combo's and here is one of the Quilted Rag Purses I made with some of the other fabric Lucy gave me.
I just LOVE these purses! This one is MINE!
Here's what the inside looks like.
Cool, uh? Your purse can be reversible!
Only one of the purses have been washed and I found out I did an awful job of sewing the handles so I took them off and re-did them. Live and learn.
If I can make them, you can too! Angie Kennedy Juda has a video tutorial HERE. Just follow her directions and you'll be home free.
