My Knotty Dress

We went over to my display board this morning to get a photo of me with my knotty dress and my projects.

I was so flattered as many people stopped me to ask about my dress and asked to take pictures.  I think I must have had my picture taken at least 80 times today in this dress.

      I did make the whole purse, but there wasn't really a pattern for it. I cut two 10" x 12" panels and two 10" x 6" panels of white canvas. each of the knotted strips was about 15" x 2" sewn back to back then added a 15" x 1" strip in the center. After making strips, I tacked them to the bottom of each panel and made knots at different levels around the bag and tacked them at the top of the panels. After finishing each panel, I sewed them together and added a bottom 12" x 6". I made an exact replica of the canvas (without the strips) to make the inside. Placed it inside and folded over the top edge and stitched in place. I don't remember the measurements on the straps, but you will make those as desired and sew them in place on the inside of the bag. It was a huge project, but the final product was really cool.
