Friday, November 20th, 2009

Hey there! Welcome to another Stamp Craft Extravaganza Friday! We’re on week 8 of the series already, and I just can’t wait to show you today’s project  –  you’re not going to believe your eyes! Web Artist Barbara Hache took a cute Hero Arts owl stamp and turned it into…

…a purse! How amazing is that?! Barbara says, “This quick project would be perfect for all of the owl lovers on your list! If you have basic sewing skills it is pretty easy to put together. It also uses up some of those wonderful scraps of fabric that you have on hand. I used my favourite Amy Butler fabric to create this dotted owl purse .”

To find out how to create the purse from start to finish, click over HERE and read Barbara’s wonderfully detailed instructions.

“Sew” long for now, see you next time!
