My thrift store sheet squeezed out another project.
 

I almost gasped with I found a square of my thrifted sheet in the corner. I thought I had used it all up except for a tiny strip. I'm gonna miss that fabric. Anyway, I made this with it. Two years ago or so someone left a Japanese magazine in a waiting room and it looked like a little panty purse. I couldn't tell for sure because I don't read Japanese but I thought what a cute idea and jotted it in my doodle book. Today when I found another scrap, I was looking through my book and remembered I wanted to make one. I drew up the pattern today. You could easily make your own, you know the shape. If you want more specific instructions, just ask. I made 3, after the first one was figured out, it took about 20 minutes to make. **Everyone needs a good pair of panties too - so that is why one has a bow. :)



Not really a quilting project but it does consist of fabric, thread and batting. That is almost quilting to me but I wasn't sure how the rules go if it has to be an actual quilt to post.

Sounds cute and I will be waiting for a picture.:)

O how difference it is so cute. I would like to make one to just make something different. could you put a tut. on it or send me the pattern.

Too cute! I have making little purses today. Might have to switch my design! :D

PS: I second Snow's request!

How cute! Love them!

Those are cute!!

These are hilarious, cute idea! I want to make one with those ridiculous seams on tight whities. A great christmas idea! They'd be good for hiding toiletries and monthly supplies in a purse or backpack.

Super cute, I'm glad you posted a photo and shared. lol, these are adorable.

so cute. We all want to make them. A tut would be wonderful.

I can't get a picture?? What do I need to do?

Amazing ... What a cute Christmas gift that would make ..Are you going to make a tutorial ?

Thanks so much ! :-) for showing but a Tut would be great of you please

Oh how adorable. Have some teens and not so teens who would love this. Please do a tut. What a fun Birthday or Christmas surprise.

It is just a little hand drawn pattern. I'll be happy to put a tutorial up if that is permitted. Is it ok to do if it isn't a quilt? If it is ok I'll put it up tomorrow - I have to wait till I get to work to scan the pattern as I unplugged my inkjet and my laser printer doesn't scan. Just be forewarned, these are addictive. I cut out 6 more this morning. I like little quick things like this that I can put a gift card in at Xmas or when someone says "It's my birthday" and I didn't know. I can then say "Hey I got something for you". Poof a magical gift waiting in my sewing room to be given.

so cute , you got me .

Too cute. Love to see your tut.

What size fabric did you start with? And what size zipper?? I want to get ready. Every female I know needs one of these!!!!!

So do we have a tut? and if so where is it posted?

Oh, how darn stinkin' cute is that!!!!

The top is 6-1/2" wide. I have a gross of 9" zippers so that is what I'm using so the metal doesn't get in the way of my stitching. But 7" would work. Not that I don't love JoAnns but zippers there are too much money. I buy them from Amazon. I buy from this store all the time. 54 9" zippers for $7.99 and free shipping. That is $.14 a piece versus JoAnns at $2.19 each. Or search Ebay too. They always have zipper deals too. I have a drawer full of zippers and I use what I pull out. It doesn't have to match exactly for a project like this.

It is also about 10" deep - that is double because you cut on a fold. So you need a 7" x 10" scrap or there abouts - a little bigger gives you cutting room. I tried regular batting and fusible batting. Fusible wins hands down. The regular batting was to thick. At least what I had, it was a polyester mid loft. Too thick. A thin warm and natural would work great too but I didn't have any. This is a use what I have kind of project. You need lace too. About 14" per purse. I have someone give me a roll of the lace I was using - it is a big roll and has probably 100's of feet of lace. That is all mine are getting again because that is what I have and I had been wondering what the heck am I gonna use all this one. This works.

I didn't write a tutorial yet, but I will. I'll get it posted sometime tomorrow.

Your panty purses are darling. I will watch for your tube because I like quick projects that I can actually finish. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the info....eagerly awaiting the tute!! Haven't done zippers so that's a bit scary! You used metal ones, not plastic, right? These are perfect for Christmas coming up!! They are SO cute!!!

I can't get a picture either can someone help me with this,, Please

Thanks for the explanation. waiting for the tute. Just too darn cute. I had to come look again. what a wonderful Idea!.
And whomever said it, it's a great gift. Hey this could be a great bachelorette gift too.

That's just the most adorable thing ever!

very cute

Go to the Home Page and then go back to General Chit Chat. That should refresh your screen and you should be able to see it. I had to edit the page when I posted because I messed up and the pictures weren't there so you are probably still seeing on that page. That is what I'm thinking. Go back, refresh and come back and you should see.

cute idea!!!

Hmmm.....my mother always used to say, "hang on to your britches, young lady". Now I know why.

Love it!!! I can hardly wait for the tute for this.

They're very cute!

That is very cute

I put a tutorial in the tutorial section. Put on your big girl panties - panty purse. Have fun. Any questions or if something isn't clear, just ask and I'll answer.
