Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
I was playing around online looking for an easy purse project for one of my students and stumbled upon this sewing project.
I am ALL for recycling things to create other things, but call me crazy, I just think that some things (like TP and undergarments) are better off thrown away and not re-purposed!
Not to mention what if this purse was made as a gift. I can only imagine the startled recipient’s face when you say, “Look, I made you something- out of a Bra!”.
