Well, with Christmas quickly approaching, and us moving in about 2 weeks, I wanted to get the kids teachers' gifts finished before I needed to pack up my sewing supplies. This is one of the gifts I finished. Once again while browsing through pinterest, I saw this great idea. The great thing is that the bag is part of a three pack from Walmart (if your store still carries craft supplies)for $6, and the fabric I ended up picking up there too.
I cut 4 1/2" X 19" strips for the ruffles. Then I hemmed the three sides, bottom, left and right. The top I did not hem because it is going to be stitched onto the purse, and hidden under the other ruffles anyways.
Then I layered the ruffles on the purse (a total of 4) and drew a light pencil line for where I wanted them to end up, being careful to overlap so the seems wouldn't be seen. I stitched a quick seem on the top of the ruffle, and pulled the thread to cause it to ruffle a little. Then I pinned and sewed it on the line I had drawn. I did the back and front separately. Each with 4 ruffles. However, when I sewed on the back ruffles, I made sure they lined up and overlapped just a tiny bit, so it looked more like a continual ruffle.
Here are the rosettes I made in contrasting fabrics.
There it is, a ruffle, rosette purse. Teacher gift number 1, done!
Pretty Purse! I like the flowers you added! I am sure the receivers will be very pleased :)
