Materials

Kate Spain Verna, vintage purse handles

What was your inspiration?

My mother gave me the purse handles from her stash. They must be as old as I am!

What are you most proud of?

This was a 100% stash-based project. It was great to be able to create something just from materials I had on hand.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

For a quilted look, rather than use interfacing, make a quilted sandwich using canvas and thin cotton batting. it worked great!

Thanks so much :) The handles were from my mom's stash -- probably from the 60s or 70s!
