Placemat purse



I've had these 3 placemats for a while, so I decided to make a bag from them. I used one of the placemats, which I cut in half, to make 2 pockets-one on the outside and one on the inside of the purse. I love making placemat purses because they are fun and easy and fast. I'll use this one to carry my "stuff" to church. I usually embellish these purses, but I decided to leave this one alone. I think it turned out cute.

Very cute! I have a placemat that I got last summer JUST for a purse but haven't sewn it yet. This is great inspiration. :D

Thanks for leaving comment on my quilting dilemna. That quilt in your banner is gorgeous!! Did you make it?? What pattern is that? Kind of reminds me of Vintage Baby Quilt (that I have the pattern for).
