Vintage Satchel

1980s curtain to cute satchel!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/vintage-satchel • Posted by Sammantha L.

I got this ugly 1988 curtain fabric from a jumble sale a few weeks ago and I'd been dying to turn the ugly into something lovely! I made my own pattern, front and back, sides, bottom and flap and then pinned it all together to make sure it worked before sewing. I then added a 1960's zip inside the bag, added a pearl trim (salvaged from my stepmums wedding dress)and then used some 1930's buttons. The next step now is to make a matching purse! :)
