Hi, I've been lurking on your group for a long time and have gotten lots of
wonderful ideas from you all. I saw this program on PBS last spring I think
and when those cute little purses came up I just had to respond,(if I could
check out the test below)!
This web site has a cute, easy, and fast idea for bags/purses! For purses
20" to 24" square pieces of fabric works great.
My Mom came up with 2 narrow strips for handles instead of floppy ones.
For over the shoulder straps
cut 2-2 1/4" WOF
1 1/4" batting as long as each fabric strip
Sew the short end of each strip of fabric with it's self (to make 2 straps)
this makes a circle. Put it around your ironing board. Iron each strip in
half (to make it 1 1/8" wide) open and iron each edge to center open this up
and place the batting in the center, iron over each edge to center, then
fold once more. Sew down each side 1/8". Strap should be about a circle 1"
wide and WOF. For just hand carrying purse handles, 1 strip cut in half
works just fine.
If this web site doesn't work for you go on to (you will have to sign in).
www.quiltingartstv.com It's under projects series 100 and show is 107
http://quiltingartstv.com/projects/100/107/107-2.pdf
The top part General instructions doesn't belong with the the Tote pattern.
I hope you will have as much fun making these as I have. Mom said it was
good practice for me in learning how to meander. You always do what your
Mother tells you!
Julie

thanks for the reminder - I watch Quilting Arts every chance I get and
love it! I'd forgotten about the totes pattern.

Is this what they call the fat quarter bag? That's what I'm looking for.
