Rockabilly Purse!

I had a purse inwards hear that I wanted to remodel...

but simply needed the motivation to create it!

So, here's that purse inwards all it's faded, stained glory!

Okay, when I bought it for $1,
I secretly knew all I wanted was the hardware...

So I took it all apart in addition to role the faded yellowish hearts every bit a semi-pattern...

If yous recall my Houndstooth bow pillow...

You'll recognize that it was the precursor to my purse...

Same houndstooth fabric...cut into pieces

Decided I wanted a fatty zipper a duo inches from the top...

sewed inwards the zipper to start...I am assuming if yous are

truly reading this tutorial that yous bring a basic sewing education...

thence I don't demand to give over-detailed info.

{sorry if I am wrong}

Decided the lining in addition to accents HAD to move RED!

Cut a slice the same every bit the zipper side in addition to sewed it together correct sides out.

For the other side, the lining was made amongst pouchy pockets...

perfect for "Girl treats", prison theatre cellular telephone phone, gum in addition to two sharpies.

{always bring sharpies amongst me. always.}

see. perfect.

Side slice has a weird angle, but I hemmed it all the same.

here's the basic pieces amongst the lining already stitched on...

you'll come across my tactic inwards a second.

Ahh, of course! The Bow!

I was inwards dearest amongst the bow thought from the pillow too!

So I duplicated it inwards RED!

Then began sewing it to the side in addition to bottom piece.

Then I used double crimp binding (pink was all I had)

in addition to went to a greater extent than or less the raw edges within the bag.

See how pretty the insides are now?

Another shot of the outsides on the insides...

Flipped correct sides out in addition to and thence a piddling binding (this fourth dimension white)

to a greater extent than or less the overstep edge.

Then the trusty, but adjacent to almost impossible to larn on,

snappy thingy!

Yes, I used pliers, an exacto knife, a piddling hot glue,

in addition to some form of poker thing...

to cram that overstep border into the said snappy thingy.

Nearly there. Granted, non the best manufacturing flora labor inwards the world,

but I dearest it nonetheless!

Here she is all snapped up!...oops--handles!!!

I used some woven cloth webbing...

in addition to the rings from the master copy purse.

Sewn on amongst a piddling loop of houndstooth.

Ah, Ta da! The insides!

Perfect for all the things I behaviour to a greater extent than or less regularly...

in addition to tons of room for to a greater extent than things...

similar kids drawings, receipts in addition to garbage...

Although non perfect, I dearest it!

I am past times no agency a perfectionist! :)

Here are a billion pictures of the finished
"Rockabilly" purse!

I think it looks similar a monster amongst its oral fissure open!

Seriously, don't yous dearest it!

(only respond that if yous DO dearest it...)

Pocket Sized Magnetic Line-Fishing Gear Upwardly Inward Altoids Tin!

Pocket Sized Magnetic Fishing Set inward Altoids tin!

Hope y'all had a bully Christmas!
I've heard a few people inward my 24-hour interval tell that they don't retrieve that
homemade gifts "count" every bit a adept Christmas gift. I disagree.
Homemade gifts are thus fun, ane of a kind, as well as lots of extra idea for the receiver!
And only because something is handmade does non mean
it is cheaper than a store-bought gift...but this ane was...as almost all of mine are!

I made each of my kids a fiddling angling kit for Christmas!
I made each of them slightly dissimilar sizes...but ane was tiny
plenty to check inward an Altoids tin...for my son
who loves Mini-pocket-sized fun!
Check out the slowly tutorial as well as and then y'all tin sack brand ane whatsoever size y'all wish!

Here's what y'all volition need:

Wooden dowel
Magnet amongst a hole inward the center...or two magnets the same size
Colorful felt
Washers or magnetic metallic discs
Hot glue/gun
Twine or string

Make certain your metallic washers are magnetic!

I had a large handbag of washers that weren't...so cheque first.

I also had these fiddling metallic discs.

Anything apartment as well as magnetic volition work...but non every bit good heavy.

Begin past times cutting two fish shapes out of your felt.

These fish are most an inch as well as one-half or thus long...

hot mucilage a washer or disc onto it.

We did some other to acquire inward easier to grab the fish.

Put some mucilage on top

Place the minute fish cast on top!

See how easily the magnet tin sack selection upwardly the fish?

Then create a bunch! We made 12 fish for each set...each dissimilar colors.

This agency nosotros tin sack purpose this for color sensory games every bit well!

Or brand a large fish set! We did a serial of metallic discs on the insides of these large fish

All 12 done! You could acquire fancy as well as embroider the fish...add patterns...etc!
The felt plant bully because it is tightly woven thus it doesn't stretch
when kids delineate the fish away from the magnet.

Now for the pole.
Wrap as well as necktie the roll or thus the dowel.
If y'all conduct hold a magnet amongst a hole, elementary necktie it on the destination of the twine.
