Month of Makeovers Day 21: A purse goes wild and woolly
Posted: October 21, 2013 Filed under: 31 Days, Home and Garden, Makeover, Sewing Project | Tags: craft, felted fabric, Handbag, Lining (sewing), purse, Scarf, Sew, Textile, vintage 2 CommentsWhat do you get when you combine an ugly 1940s handbag with a moth-eaten vintage scarf?
