As I was organizing photos, I realized that I never posted about this little purse refashion I did a few months ago. This purse is really old. I don't remember what year, but my sister and I went to Kansas City for a sister's shopping weekend. I think I was in middle school at the time. Anyway, I was a big fan of Steve Madden shoes (as evidenced
here) and was not aware that he made anything else. I think we were at the
Halls department store when we found the Steve Madden purse section. So exciting! Over the years, I have kept this purse because it is perfect for occasions when I need a few things, but don't want a full purse (like concerts, or zoo trips). I mean, it's just a tad outdated, but who is going to judge me at the zoo?
A few months ago, I had some leftover fabric from
this project, and decided the old Steve Madden purse could use a face-lift. With very little plan, I got out my Mod Podge and went to work. I wish I had thought it through a little more, but I just measured and cut the fabric and started gluing it to the front flap.
Here's the final result:
It's not perfect, but I think it looks pretty good. A nice chevron print can distract me from minor flaws. In hindsight, I should have seam-ripped the "Steve Madden" patch off before I started gluing! Anyway, I think it will still be good for concerts and zoo trips!
