Yeah, It's a Panty Purse

My husband's first reaction:  "Are you really gonna be whipping that out
of your purse?"  
How does one go from posting the elegant little Japanese knot bag to a panty bag in a matter of days?  It's Sandra of SuddenlySandra.blogspot.com 's fault because she made some of these that were so freakin' cute I had to give it a try, too.

Look--all lined and everything!


Sandra also nicely directed me to the free pattern and tutorial.  It's in Chinese, but Google Translator translates well enough to get the idea.  If you've not done a lined, zippered bag before, check out a YouTube video tutorial or two.  That should be enough for anyone to give this a try.  I enlarged it to use with the 7" zipper on hand.

Before you get started, stop here to see Sandra's versions.  She has all kinds of little extras that make these even more special.

  2. Thanks for sharing this. It's an unusual sewing project. I can't picture myself carrying one of these, but it would be great as a gag gift.

    I found this post through the Creative Bloggers' Party and Hop at Homemaker on a Dime.
