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!
