check this one out!

As most of you know, I am not a sewer...but really want to be. My mom is brilliant with a sewing machine and my grandma is an expert. So, I have a lot to live up to.
For Christmas my mom gave all of us a new purse. I love purses almost as much a shoes. Anyway...mine is a beautiful tapestry purse in shade of brown and tan. My favorite color! And then she dropped the bombshell about these babies....They were all made out of placemats. Seriously! I found this picture on a how to website that gives you step by step directions to make your very own. They are so super easy that even I, the beginner, could pull it off. Just a couple of seams and then stitching on your handle. Easy as pie! I want one in every color! Actually, I'm using mine for a scripture tote for church. Perfect sized to fit your books and study guides in, along with scripture markers and a couple of jolly ranchers :0) But seriously, I think I'm going to go and get some placemats today at Target. You guys want to come over and play?
