I have been reading about making purses out of purchased placemats, and of course, I couldn’t resist trying it. Here is my first effort. The placemat and handles came from Wal-Mart. I got the palm tree at Thread Artist , and added my monogram in bamboo font in VIP Customizing software.
And this is the side view (just had to show the buttons!)
And here is the next one to be sewn. The dragonfly came with my machine, and I added the C. Don’t you just love the sequins??!! The handles are gonna be clear.

Very Cute!!!! neat idea. I like the beige one. Of course the mint green one will be nice once completed.
