I would like to know where to find the pattern for the snap purses - the ones that use the ruler for the closing....anyone know |
Thanks to BMP and peaceand joy for the topic and links. I've wanted to try my hand at making a purse but the patterns were more involved (time wise) than I wanted to invest. The idea of using Vera Bradley placemats will make a striking purse with little time invested!

Snap Happy is the name of the purse/bag with the ruler:

that is very pretty.

Great idea and most likely less expensive than the Vera bag

I made one in a class. Website is [email protected] 3 sizes and easy to make. I made the larger one and
the instructor didn't mention quilting it or anything. However, I can see lots of possibilites for them, like some "bling", flowers, buttons, lace, etc. Hope to make some for Christmas. Big emphasis on the word "hope"! LOL |
I failed to mention that my reply was to the request for the Snap Happy bags. I'm new to the Quilting Board Digest and love it. Can figure out most of the acronyms but not all. I went to the Quilt Board site for the list but it was lacking quite a few. Was helpful, though. I'm learning so much from you folks. Thanks for all the info!

where can I buy these placemats and napkins?? thanks:)
|
I think I might try to make one for my daughter's birthday in 2 weeks.
