The Crafty Chica DIY Project Library: a collection of fabulous handmade ideas by Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica! Thursday, December 02, 2004Place Mat Purse What you need: * 1 heavy-duty lined place mat * 1 yard of solid-color trim * 2 yards of colorful trim for borders * Heavy-duty thread * Straight pins * Scissors * Charms or fringe (optional) How to make it: Fold the place mat in half to see what the front of the purse will look like. Pin the trim to your liking, then sew it in place. Flip the mat over, fold it (lining should face out). Pin the sides together, then sew them in place. Shoulder strap: For a more detailed strap, pin, then sew the colorful trim to the solid color trim on either side. Attach by sewing an end to each side of the purse. Trim all loose threads. Flip the purse right-side out. To add more flair, hand sew charms or add a row of fringe to the bottom. *For more artsy goodness, check out http://www.CraftyChica.com.* Labels: wearable art

I think there's a step missing: how do we prepare and attach the lining?
There is a step missing; how do we prepare and attach the lining? That would be the most difficult part and what I need to know, please. :P
hi! sorry about that! actually, i used placemats that came with linings...much easier!!
About Me
In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
