Bandana Purse
Bandana
sewing pins
Ribbon for strap
They are really easy you just cut the bandana in half:
And the you cut from that half a two inch strip, and then you cut the sides from the top and bottom of that strip... 6.5 inches each:
Then you pin the side pieces to the main piece:
then sew it up... I used 1/4 inch seams... if you want you can just hem the edges and sew a strap on... I sewed up another one in an opposite color and sew it on as a lining being careful to pin the strap in and sew it all right... if you do this you have to leave a spot unsewn so you can flip it...
The strap is a separate piece. I usually use a wide ribbon or some webbing about a yard and a half (depending on how long you want it). You can either leave the sides unsewn where the strap goes and sew it on after you flip it or you can pin the strap on and sew it as you go
well hope that helped..

i dont understand it you have to make it more clear!
ok
These directions are very vague. Unfortunately, from these directions, I couldn't get the project done. I think the picture is really cute, though.
Didn't understand the directions that well.
It is so cute! I always wanted to sew! Maybe my mom will let me do this with one of her old bandanas! i always prick my fingers on Girl Scout patches!

Huh??? I got lost after cut the bandana in half, now I have 2 halves of one bandana, hmmm what to do.
good idea, but I couldn't understand the instructions.
Sewing
Could not understand or follow the directions. Might have been easier if fabrics were different colors to make it clear how pieces fit together. We improvised and got it together but doesn't look like the photo:-)
I didn't understand how to do it.....But I bet if I keep trying, then I might get it.... :)
The directions are hard to understand.
But I did finaly understand. I loved the idea.
just luv it.
looks cool but how big is the bandana supposed to be?
the Instructions are kind of hard to understand, but it's a great idea!
This is a great idea but I agree the instruxctions are a bit confusing, can you redo them and make them clearer pls?
A wonderful project idea, but the instructions could have been clearer and more professional.
great project we used for a troop badge5768
This is really confusing and I'm a beggining sewer so could you try to make it just a tiny bit clearer? It's very cute.
This is really cute but I'm having a hard time undrstanding the instructions. Luckily the pictures help a little.
