Here's a 'how-to' for a little purse that's quick and easy to do.
Cut two rectangles measuring 31 x 15cm or 12.5 x 6", one from your main fabric and one from your lining.
Decorate the front of your purse however you choose to, I've cut a simple bunny from felt.
For lots of inspiration visit kkomegii.
With right sides together, stitch your two pieces leaving a gap as shown.
Turn right side out and hand stitch gap closed.
Fold over, about 11cm or 4.5" from bottom edge to make your purse shape, and then blanket stitch the sides together.
Blanket stitch around the remaining edges and you're done.
I've used a snap fastener to secure it, but I forgot to take a photo of that and it would have been a boring photo anyway.
For more rabbity loveliness, look here and your little purse will soon be empty.
Have a good weekend !
love it! thanks lyn.

That's cute! It reminds me of the South Park episode "Jewbilee" where we find out that all those arts and crafts kids have to make are really just religious sacrifices. ("What do you require Moses?" "I require... macaronni pictures & popcorn necklaces!")

Oh I love these comments tonight - it's like we're all at Lyn's getting loopy on Shiraz. What fun! Ok, got the giggles, will go now. Love the purse, something do-able even after a pop or 2.

Adorable, adorable, adorable! I desperately need a new wallet and this project is just perfect (with the exception that my sewing machine is getting "tuned" right now.) Thanks again for inspiring me!

Linked to you from Soul Mama, and just had to say thank you for the "purse lessons". My little girl turns 3 on the 17th and a little wallet/purse was on her birthday wish list. This will be perfect!!!!
