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.

They look lovely, well done. Hugs Yvonne

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?

super cute! Where can I get the pattern??

Thanks! I am off to make one of my own!

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.

Lovely! Good idea for using upholstery fabric...I have a bunch;>) Thanks 4 sharing!

Tooooooooooooo cute!! Great job!!!

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

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.

Very Pretty
