Another Purse, from leftover fabric.

Well done, John. The purse is really good looking. Thank you for sharing. What are you using for lining the underside of the strap? I've often wished for one that would help the strap stay put on my shoulder when I was trying to juggle a car door, Yorkie, and frozen pork chops. Polly

"John" Here is a purse I made from some Japanese Kimono fabric that I had

What I do is make a sandwich of the Twill inner fabric and inset a heavy interfacing between that. Then I sew the Trim color fabric to the back of that. Then I sew the color matching fabric from the quilt body itself to the front and fold it over on the back and top stitch it in place. it makes for a sturdy strap that doesn't go all wonky when the Yorkie spies a cat, and decides to rid the planet of same. If the Yorkie and the pork chops are in the bag, then all bets are off.

What was that skinny metal thing with the thread hanging out of it??? Where's the foot pedal????

Just kidding. That's a very good tutorial. But I've always wondered if those English paper pieced quilts were very strong. I had a yo-yo quilt pop apart when I shook it after washing. I even had a rag quilt split. Maybe it's just me... But I see they are saying to appliqué the hexagons to a foundation. That makes a lot of sense.

I learn something new everyday! ~:o) anthony in Clearwater.
