DOCTOR WHO PURSE

I made a T.A.R.D.I.S purse! It's the first major project I accomplished with my new sewing machine.

The inspiration.

And the process to achieving this bag.

Warning: This is a very long blog.

So let's begin, shall we?

I didn't buy a pattern because quite frankly,  patterns are overpriced. I based the  T.A.R.D.I.S. purse off of this one.

Layed out my material . . . 1 1/2 yard navy, 1/4 yard white, 1/4 yard black.

I used wax paper to make myself a pattern.

As Midnight watched.

Made the outside of the bag.

I wanted to use a galaxy type material for the lining, but I couldn't find any. I went to the Salvation Army and found an old king sized pillow case to use. I think it fitted nicely.

Ta-da.

I printed off letters then used a nice to cut them out.

Traced with a white crayon . . .

And began the tedious task of embroidering.

*Finished*

Meanwhile elsewhere in the house . . . cats sitting on top of a mattress. Seems normal.

Pinned the letters to the bag.

I made a template for the windows on Word. Then used the knife to cut it out again. I laid it on top of the material so I'd  cut the material and the paper at the same time.

. . . Now that was a pain. And took forever. And ever.

Attached the windows and sign! ALMOST DONE.

Worked on the strap.

Mom: "Want me to take a picture of you?"
. . . "Shouldn't I not post my face on my blog?"
. . . "Well your head will be down."

So thus, she took a picture. I posted.

Attached it! And FINISHED.

This project was fun! For the most part it was easy. I did want to add the sign on the front of the T.A.R.D.I.S. to make a pocket, but alas, I had no transfer paper. I don't use pockets much though. I guess I could always add pockets, right?
