A Purse Re-Do

With my new found zipper skills, I decided to remake a purse that I love, but find a little bit unusable because  it doesn't have a closure.

I blogged about it right after I made it in 2010.

So, I pulled the whole thing apart.  Took me a long time with a seam ripper and a pair of scissors.  Once I had pulled it apart, I ironed everything and remade it with a few changes:

  1. I made it bigger.
  2. I added a zipper.
  3. I shortened the strap.
  4. Because I made it bigger, I had to add fabric to the lining and the outside.

Here it is now:

I used a mish mash of fabrics for my lining:

And, once more, I'm prodigiously proud of my zipper:

I'm totally in love with my new and improved purse!

I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more zippered purses from me on the blog.  It's kind of addictive....

Thanks for stopping by!
