Sew Up the Sides
Make a Purse from a Placemat

Sew up both sides of the folded placemat.

Start sewing at the bottom edge of your fold. Sew all the way up to the top, stitching about a 1/8" from the edge. Repeat on the other side of the placemat. Be sure to tie off your thread on the inside of each side to prevent your new seams from unraveling.

When the sides are stitched up, sew on the handles.
