Is Hello Kitty everywhere or what these days. I remember when she was first cool...way back when. Well, at Kohl's the other day Maria spied a HK purse that she wanted, but for $15 I talked her into making our own version. I had seen this skirt at the thrift store. So for $.50 and a little ingenuity we had our purse, and she didn't have to save her allowance for months!
I simply sewed the legs closed on the inner pair of shorts. I attached a ribbon, which just happened to match perfectly on either side for the strap. Then I twisted a loop of embroidery thread and attached it behind the button closure. And a bonus, the purse already has built in outer pockets. Maria already used it for church with her new dress below.
The girls ready to head to church in their new matchy, matchy outfits. My mom got this adorable fabric and had a pattern to make the dress. I had just enough left after making the dress to do this bow top for Anna. They both just happened to have matching capri/pants. Aren't they adorable, and the pigtails, too much!

Oh, what a cute purse! Very impressed that you remembered seeing the skirt *and* that you realized it would work as a purse. Super mom!
