Purse From Old Couch Cover

Suede stripe bag with braided handle

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/purse-from-old-couch-cover • Posted by Joanna aka Jo, Joji

Made this purse from a suede couch cover given to me by a friend. I lined it with a offwhite remnant and added pockets on the inside, one zippered and braided together three suede pieces to create the handle. It closes with a little flap of blue & suede fabric that has a magnetic snap on the inside and decorative buttons on the outside. Up close there were a lot of mistakes, but for one of my first bags I think it came out very well. I could make a tutorial for this if people were interested.
