My New Purse

My cat peed on my purse a few weeks ago. Since my tom cat, Ash died, our two intact females have been drawing a lot of attention from the other tom's who were previously not allowed to step foot in our yard. Even though our two females never venture outside, they howl and mark their territory every time they go into heat. We have found surprises on the floor, in laundry baskets of dirty clothes and baskets of clean clothes and my personal favourite IN MY SHOES!

We had our kitten's fixed a few days ago but not before they claimed their latest victim...my purse! I have been looking for a nice messenger bag style purse, something a little larger than my previous one. With two kids with water bottles, crayons, bandaids, snacks and of course my wallet I need lots of room.

So I made this one....





I like how the straps are tied at the top which I can make long or short depending, I like that I could choose my fabric, my colours and style. I also liked that it cost me less than $5 when the cheapest store bought one I found that I liked was $24.
