What do you think
this denium vest, probably from the 90's
this denium vest, probably from the 90's
and this denium valance from the same era
might equal?
This purse, of course.
I cut up the vest and just barely had enough (with a little creative piecing) for the outside and strap.
This is supposed to be the front, according to the pattern.
But, I really like this side too!
This was a tie on the back of the vest, that I had just taken off and set aside.
Then I decided to try it here and I loved it.
You know me by now, I love to use every little scrap
and I did!
I had to piece the front and back, so I put the piece right in the middle and made mock French Seams, so it looks like it was on purpose. Well, at least I think sew.
As for the denium valance I showed you above, it was perfect for the lining.
But I had enough of the vest to make divided pockets for both sides.
It is always so difficult to show the inside of a purse.

Mr. SS was impressed, but just doesn't get why I would make a purse from a vest.
I tried to explain my excitement for making something new out of something old.
(And...using up every little scrap)
I snapped the pictures a couple of days ago when we were having beautiful sunny weather. The tree is a fruitless plum, that we really had to trim back when me moved the RV small cottage a few weeks ago. I was really excited to see all the blossoms. I was worried it might go into shock.
Anyway, it is just outside my studio door and all I had to do was stand on the step and hang the purse up for pictures.
