It was in one of the summer issues. I made several and found them very easy, if rather small (I tend to carry everything but my desk in my bags!).

You can always use two placemats

Those straw coloured placemats trimmed in black came from Walmarts.

hi shirley, I really like your placemat purse...did you sew the two short ends together (zig-zag stitch?) and also did you add a zipper? Thank you!

Yes I just lined the short edges up but first I installed the zipper - I also lined it and added a zippered pocket. Before I installed the zipper I inserted pieces of grosgrain ribbon to hold the handles - I also sewed in rings to clip a strap onto. Then I stitched the sides - wrong sides together with button hole or quilting thread cant remember but strong thread and just straight stitched the sides. After the handles were on I hand sewed them in place since they were just the rod handles.
I used this bag on a 3 week trip to Montreal and carried my dog in it - the strap of the bag I also used for a lead for her. The lining was made from black cloth napkins.

Forgot to say - make sure your ribbon tabs are long enough if you are planning the straight across wood handles so that you can get your fingers under it.
