Tutorial: Add backpack straps to a thrifted purse

Becky from Patchwork Posse shows how you can add backpack straps to a thrifted purse and while you’re at it, replace the lining too. The purse she shows in her tutorial originally had a messenger strap, but she wanted to be able to carry it like a backpack. And I like the idea of replacing the lining because I always get a little bit of ewww feeling from all the stray dirt and bits you find in the bottom of a thrifted purse. The idea of started fresh with a lining appeals to me!
