Pee-Wee Herman Purse

What do you do when you have leftover fabric?

​Turn it into matching accessories, of course!

With nearly an extra yard of gray plaid left, I had plenty to spare (and even still more to work with!) to make myself a cute handbag.  I decided to nix the idea of a plain white lining on this one - it was time to have some fun!

​What's the first thing to come to mind when  thinking of Pee-Wee Herman?  DINOSAURS, obviously! Multi-colored dinosaurs, to be exact! Between the desert dinos in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and the little dino family living in the walls of the Playhouse, this fabric was clearly the way to go.  I used more of the red ribbon to create a bow tie closure on top, further matching the dress already completed. Now I just need  to find a pair of vintage heeled loafers and to head out to Cabazon for a photoshoot!
