Easy Peasy Purse

I'm just popping in real quick to show you guys the easiest purse in the world!!! Really. I wouldn't lie to you. Janine came over yesterday afternoon to sew and we made these purses
from this magazine:(Which just came out so if you don't have it yet you can still get it!) In fact some stores still have the older one...it's that new :) We sat and sewed for oh about 5 minutes and kind of looked at each other like "no way, can it really be this easy?" It can. It was. 30 maybe 45 minutes tops you'll go from ordinary kitchen towelsto this:Total cost: 3.99 for 3 kitchen towels from Ross 4.19 for bag handles from Joannes (30% off right now) Pretty cool huh?
O.k. today's kitten picture is a bit graphic so if you have a weak stomach just move on to the next blog now. To the rest of you this is a picture of when we still had all 3 babies. First thing every morning when we woke them up they would all hop in the "yucky box" and have a little group potty together...pretty disgusting really...and yet somehow sweet at the same time. Hey I warned you!
Wish me luck I'm off to drive the giant truck for the Registrar of Voters again tonight!

The purse is adorable. I got the magazine today, but I haven't had a chance to look through it. I like easy peasy stuff.

The kittens are adorable. You have been a busy little quilter! I love Carrie Nelson's patterns.

I got that magazine yesterday and showed the picture of the purse to my friend, Connie, when she came down for a visit. I'm so glad you posted about it - I was wondering if it was as easy as it sounded!

I was JUST LOOKING at this purse pattern about an hour ago! Very cute, I can't believe they are that easy.
Kitties are very cute. Not too offensive.

Oh my goodness that purse is adorable! I haven't seen the magazine because I accidently let my subscription expire! GRRRR! It's my favorite quilting magazine so I'm going through withdrawals while I wait for it to hit the grocery store or Joanne's. Patiently tapping my foot while I wait.

OMG, those kittens look adorable in their group poo! LOL

Hugs to you Lil Sis! :-)

Just got my magazine and LOVE the tea towel purse. I want to make it so glad to hear your review. Now off to find some cool tea towels! Thanks for sharing.

That's a great bag - and such a clever idea. I'm keen to start making some bags for myself now.

Kim said...

Nice purse! The kitten photo is soooo funny!!! They were a cute bunch.

Karen said...

I got my magazine yesterday. Only liked two patterns in it and one was the purse. I even have a set of handles I have never used. I need to see what kind of towels I can come up with.
I want to see a picture of the truck.

I've got that magazine and have been wanting to make that purse since I first saw it. I am such a purse junkie :cD Now I'm defintly going to give it a try.

Yes yukky but yes sweet. They are so cute. I love the bag. Isn't it great when something fun like that comes together! I gotta get the magazine.

Cute Purse! And even cuter kitties -- how funny that they all feel compelled to do their business together!

Cute purse! Might have to go find that magazine and some towels tomorrow! I "need" another project!

3) all the kitten photos are KILLING me with their cuteness!

Wendy said...

We don't have that magazine here yet...I'll have to check all the favorite spots today. Cute bag and so quick. I love the pictures of those kittens, even if they are all pooping together.
Hope the driving went well.

The purse is cute and the kittens are so sweet. I just love kitties. I want one or two. Too bad I don't live closer, huh?

Simply This That and the Other... said...

I'm goin to see if I can find the magazine tomorrow. I have tons of dish towels like that. I think I sorta have a fetish with them. Not sure why. And some of them are so cute, I can't bare to use them as dish towels! So NOW I know what to do. ;o) Way cool.

Cheryl said...

Judy said...

I have the magazine but haven't made the purse yet. I marked it for a future project. I love the kittens. When you do as much scoop the poop duty as I do it's not disgusting...very very cute.
