More than just another fold and sew placemat purse

Thanks to many pioneers, I've fallen in love with placemat purse making. I, however, quickly got bored with the simple fold and sew. I started challenging myself to make purses that one would be hard pressed to identify the placemats in the purse.
I just completed this white vegan leather placemat purse that really challenged me. I wanted to put in zipper, but did not want to lose the integrity of the placemat. I ended using new techniques and even getting a rivet set for the vinyl.

Currently, I'm working on another one that I'm still trying to work my head around. 

Meanwhile, here are a few more. 

 Scalloped beaded placemat using zipper as closure.

 This used two round placemats  and gusset to achieve the look.

This was also two placemats used along with a vegan leather piece for the flap.
