My New TOP NOTE Rag Purse!


My TOP NOTE Rag Purse!


A close up!

I'm sure by now everyone has seen the rag purses using the scallop square die and the big Shot. I decided to change it up a bit and make one using the TOP NOTE die and the Big Shot! Using this instead gives it a totally different shape! You can easily add more Top Note shapes and make it as big or small as you want to. The overall size for this small purse I have shown is 8" x 4" x 6".
I have added pockets to the outside and inside of my purse and added a reinforced bottom. The main construction of the purse is the same as the scallop square purse(and you can add these pockets on your scallop square die-cut purses and it will work the same way!) but the steps are a little different to add all of the pockets and the base.
Here are some photos of the pockets!
My purse is made using just one pattern of fabric for the exterior and another for the lining but you can pick as many different patterns and mix and match as you want!




I recently found out that Angie Juda was the creator of the original Scallop Square rag purse. I had seen so many, I didn't know where they began. Such a great idea!
