Pocket Purse
Embellish or design your own Pocket Purse or bag.
You will need:
Old shirts with pockets or use back pockets of lightweight pants.**
Embellishments, appliqués, beads, etc.
Ribbon, old belt or cording
Cut out two pockets from old shirts. Try a thrift store if you don't have any available at your house. Pin your pockets together. Sew the two pockets together around the sides and bottom.
Use ribbon, beads, belts or whatever you may have available for a strap. Attach the strap by hand sewing in place. Decorate by gluing on something decorative if desired.
**Heavier material or jeans will be hard to sew because of their thickness so try lighter weight material for this project.
Old clothes with pockets can be cut out and saved for projects such as
this. Also try making pencil holders out of jean pockets. These require
no sewing. Attach magnet strips to the back and omit the strap. Then
hang on the fridge or school lockers. Use your imagination to decorate.
