I'm not the only one in the family with projects. In fact, I'm usually the one with the least amount of project, but as of late - that's not been the case.
My sister, Kate, has been up to no good - but in a creative sort of way. Earlier this year we saw these cool clutch book purses at Kate Spade. After a little investigating and creative sourcing, we figured out how to make our own.
First we went and found some old "vintage" books at used book stores. You have to find hard book covers that are actually printed on the hardcover - remove the dust jacket and look underneath. Then Kate when out, purchased some fabric and notions that matched the books hardcover. She exacto-ed the pages out (I know, I know - but sacrifices must be made in the name of cool fashion items) and inserted the fabric. After adding on the handles (only if you want to!) she had a really cute purse.
She's currently making more . . .
