made using the "phoebe bag" pattern from artsy craftsy babe.

i was so excited because they were blowing out this fabric for 4 bucks a yard at walmart. srsly, that is a STEAL, comparable fabrics at joann's retail for $15/yard. (i went back a couple days later and bought up the rest of the bolt, they had lowered the price to $3/yard. SCORE!) i used a navy quilting-weight cotton for the lining (that i found in my stash). it only used about 1/2 a yard of the patchwork, so for about $2 and materials i had on hand, i made this cute summer hobo purse! i love it.
thanks for looking!
I LOVE this! ...I'm a sucker for anything plaid, so madras, patchwork plaid is like super awesome overload for me! so cute. looks like a perfect size too. I'm always in search of the perfect bag, you know, not to small not too big with the perfect strap length. I think you nailed it!
ReplyDeletethanks gena for the sweet comment :) i have made several of these bags in different fabrics and i do love the pattern, i think it's the perfect size and i like the strap length as well.
ReplyDeleteReally great bag. You did a super sewing job.
ReplyDeleteBTW I bought this fabric for $!2.00 / metre. I made lounge (dorm) pants for my daughter. Very comfy.
You got a great deal!
thanks janlynn! i wish they had more of it, the end of the bolt was less than 2 yards. i would've bought 5 yards at that price and made the whole family matching lounge pants :)
ReplyDeletesuper cute butt, oh and the bag was pretty cute too!
