After dissecting the valance and cutting the pieces I needed, I revised the tote height to accommodate the tall logo on the front side. The valance is made of the same polyester jersey that most athletic tanks and shorts are made from, and so of course, that is now the purse and strap fabric. I choose a yellow cotton for the lining with six green and white accent pockets. The outside also has two hidden pockets between the straps.
It turned out gorgeous. You can read the review by the purchaser.
It was additional work to repurpose the valance, so this purse cost a little more. And I have contacted Notre Dame Legal Dept., Licensing, for permissions.

Fighting Irish Notre Dame Handbag
An avid Notre Dame fan asked me if I could make a Notre Dame zipper bag, and I said Sure, assuming Notre Dame logo fabric by the yard would be easy to find. Not True. It doesn’t exist. My best option was to buy a Notre Dame curtain Valance on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/NCAA-Notre-Fighting-Irish-Valance/dp/B0000ASQ8I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464628174&sr=8-1&keywords=notre+dame+valance .
