Fat Quarter Handbag

Isn't this the smartest handbag you've seen all year?

And made using only a fat quarter in a fabric you love, some plain fabric to line it and a pair of handles and interfacing (for stiffness).

There are so many gorgeous quilting fabrics to choose from, you won't be able to stop at one!

Upholstery Fabric Handbag

I've often seen furnishing fabrics that are absolutely gorgeous, but have no idea of what to make with it.

So I end up walking away, because I have sooo much self control ;)

Seriously, this bag is yummy.
It even has a magnetic snap closure.

And to make it wear better, buy a spray-can of scotchgard and give it a good spray to keep it clean.
