Really cute purse - I can't get enough of sushi fabric either :-). But maybe the pattern number isn't correct? It looks like a wedding dress from here. Anyway, I agree with you on too much glue - plastic canvas should wash fine, but glue becomes problematic. And -my- purses eventually need washing, especially with regular cotton which doesn't particularly shed dirt well or hide it.. Just a question though - how do you keep the chopsticks from falling off??

Whoops! The pattern is McCall, not Simplicity - that fixes the wedding dress thing. fuzzygalore, the chopsticks are just threaded through the handle loops, they aren't glued or anything. Because the chopsticks are fatter at one end, you can kinda wedge them in there, and it seems like they will stay fairly well.

Cute purse. The fabric looks fun too. Did you use a special foot for the plastic canvas? Was it hard to sew with? Nice work.

nice! I've got that same sushi fabric (but on a white background) to make a loud shirt for my boyfriend. Love the bag!

marthamyers, I just used the regular foot and thread - plastic canvas isn't that hard to sew through, the needle can usually go right through the plastic.

This purse is really darling. I am inspired to make one too...I went into Joann's today looking for the plastic canvas and they did not know what that was. Can you tell me where you got yours? thanks!! Your purse is inspiring me!
