Snap it Purses- I have had this pattern for some time, but never made - so I did this set from samples of upholstry given to me by a friend. These are made with the metal measuring tape so that they snap shut. I have posted front and back-quick project.

Lovely fabric. Are these made ITH?

No - they are not, but super quick. I used the uphostry fabric, batting, and the liner about 3 1/2" longer. This is then turned over to create the area for the rule to be inserted. Then stitched along the sides Easy Peasy, right?

Very nice, cheerful fabrics. Are these stitched all in-the-hoop, or is it done with a regular sewing machine? Thanks.

Just regular sewing. This are really quick, and doing ITH would take longer I think, just to put the hoops together.

You are kidding right? But I woke up to 8 degrees this AM, and my office for work was 41...took it a while to warm up so that my fingers did not freeze in doing my job. Hugs

dlonnahawkins by dlonnahawkins 13 Feb 2012

Oops - it was 28 here not 8 - we would have had the doors frozen shut had it been 8, and I would still be in bed. LOL

It's cold everywhere! I'm in central FL and we had a frost here this morning.
