Little purses

On my to-do list this week, I had 2 additional little purses that I was planning to make for my youngest daughter's teachers' assistants. 

I used some coated cotton for the top and some glitter cotton for the bottom. I also used the same cheerful French fabric for the lining. 

I used 2 strips of black 2.5 x 6.5 and a piece of glitter 6.5 x 6.5 for the outside and 2 pieces 1.5 x 2.5 for the little tabs on either side of the zip. 

For the lining I used 2 pieces 6.5 x 5 

The purses came together very easily and relatively quickly and used this tutorial by for the zip tabs. I love the way it looks and how it finishes the top really neatly.

I was lucky to find the right zips in my stash too, matching colours and correct size!

 I like those little purses very much and I think they make cute little pressies. I could easily see more of these in my future... if only I had more free time!

And that another cross off my Q3 FAL list as well as more OPAM for July.
