Here's a little purse I made today. I saw them on another forum and had to try. It turned out really cute. After seeing the prices for purse handles ($6.00 or better) I went to a thrift store and got a purse for $2.00. I also put pockets on the inside.

Inside of the purse. it does show the raw edges. (didn't think of that when I sewed it together)

Thanks everyone. I had fun making it. When I figure out how to fix the raw edges i'm going to make a few as Christmas presents. My next small project is to make a matching checkbook cover to go with my pretty new purse!
