***Hi, I'm Scout. This is my first blog post. I am excited to sew with you. Today we are making a special purse. I will be telling you how to make it.
First choose your fabric, a 16 inch square. I used a table napkin.
Then, choose a ribbon (16 inches) and a strap however long you want. Decide if you want a shoulder bag or a one handed bag. We used a little elastic, that's up to you.
Pin your ribbon onto your fabric. Make a fabric ribbon sandwich. Sew the sandwich closed.
Turn the tube right sides out.
Fold your long rectangle in half again. Pin closed.
If you want to, sneak a ribbon loop in your sewing to be a tag.
Turn it right sides out again. Measure from ribbon 2 inches for strap. Attach strap on each side.
Now, congratulate yourself anyway you want. I had fashion show. How are you going to do it?
[thanks Aunt Heather!]
