This is the first purse I made. I found some upholstery samples at the thrift store. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them but I new I had to have them. I was woking on up-cycling a tapestry table runner into a purse (I will post another time) when I got stalled and ended up making this purse.
I put one big pocket on one side and two cell phone sized pockets on the other side. Sorry about the bad photography, I shoud have taken new pictures.
The strap is a tie off another shirt of mine (I don't wear ties on my shirts so I just keep them to use on something else). The pictures don't show the bow I sewed at the top of the strap. I was going to have it so you could tie the strap how ever you wanted, but I thought a knot on your shoulder would not feel too good after a while. Especially if you load your purse I like I do. I put velcro at the top of the purse to close it.
