The One Eyed Jack

 

This cute little bag is a MINI (Approximately 10" x 9").  The whole purse - lining, handles, everything is made from only 2 fat quarters.  What a great way to use up those "pairs" of FQ's in your stash.  They make great affordable gifts too.

This is the tote size made from a recycled sport coat, some suede cloth, a couple of ties and a belt for a handle.  It has a double magnetic closure and it "slouches" nicely when it hangs from your shoulder.
