the purple purse

I made this purse one day when i was bored. i didn't have a pattern for it (it makes me feel stifled), so i had the idea in my head and made it up as went along:















it's been holding up pretty well-i use it almost every single day. but it has a few loose threads because the fabric is a loose weave, and my gold scaly belt (that i got from otterbine thrift store-thank's mom!) always catches the threads.


the shoulder strap and D rings are from a belt that i never wore, so i cut the belt to length and sewed it in place.



the fabric is just beautiful, i think. i got it from te salvation on 57-i was going to make a prom dress out of it!! hah! but it was two large curtains when i got it....i don't know where the rest of the material is!
