I picked up this scrap vintage upholstery material at a great shop, and decided to make a purse/satchel/bag out of it. The material is a dense, velvety something-or-other that is nice to pet while you're waiting in a lobby. I made up a pattern out of a brown paper bag and went to town yesterday. Added a strap this morning, and voila!
I put buttons at the bottom of each side of the handle and attached an old keychain to the zipper.
I am so happy to have a sewing machine: my mom's old Kenmore, made of solid metal. It's another testament of my family's practice of buying well-made things that last, like the LeBaron convertible (now at 260,000 miles) and this old knit poncho I'm wearing. I am grateful for quality hand-me-downs, and a new bag. Woo hoo!
