Zero Waste Purse Pattern


"Do you have a house full of scraps - both fabric AND interfacing? I certainly do and I am always on the lookout for cute ways to use them up. i hate throwing pieces out that could be used and the result is that my house is pretty full! These little purses are a great way to use some cute fabric and some foam interfacing. They need next to nothing in the way of bits and pieces and I have provided two handy sizes for you. Best of all, they are a great beginner project and I guarantee you will not stop with just the one. or two....you have been warned!"
