Recycled Purse; Make a purse from a jacket!
23 March 2010
(Repost): The other day I cleaned out my closet.
I found a brown velvet jacket that I never wear,
but I still loved the embroidery on it,
so I made a purse out of it and had to share
the pictures of the process and final product.
I love it so much! ( I used an old belt for the strap)

The Jacket
Cutting it apart, very carefully!
The pattern I made, I drew the pattern on it so I would know the proper size.
I had to get creative with what I had to use. The top of the purse is the edging of the sleeves.
The detail on the back used to be the pleats on the jacket so I outlined the seams with more seams.

Holy Cow. You are a genius. My jaw chipped off a corner of the desk I am sitting at when I saw how creative you are. I love, love, love it.
Yeah, you can do ANYTHING!
Oh wow! I love,love, love your idea! I have been wanting to make stocking for my family 2 years and haven't thought of an idea!I just keep using the store bought ones. I am definitely making the sweater stockings! I also want to try my hand at making the purse from the jacket-so adorable.Keep up the good work- I just discovered your blog today! Im glad I did.

That is so stinkin cute Cassidy! Very impressive!
Ahh - that is too cute! I wish I could sew....
I have been wanting to try this. I bought a purse made from an old leather jacket. I have a few but am a little scared cutting right into it. Yours looks fabulous.
WOW! You are amazing! When are you coming to my place to teach me all your skills? hehe. Hugs from Conroe, TX!
So cool. Am really impressed Cassity - you are not only the most inspired remodeler, but also a talented handbag designer and seamstress. Really nice result!
I love this! I never would've guessed it was a jacket before if I didn't see it.
Wow. Your eye is amazing, you can look at something and see a whole new something!
Thanks for linking up at "Anti-Procrastination Tuesdays!"
nice job!
this is such a neat bag. what a clever idea.
Wow, so beautiful!
You did a great job. I love to reconstruct thing to. I don't know if I could pull anything off like this though.
The embroidery was definitely worth saving. Great Job, super cute.
Amazing! I love it! Be blessed. Cindy
Okay, now that is fabulous! (Wondering if I have anything to cut up)
Wow, you've done it again. You are a wizard. I don't want to think about how much that bag would cost in someplace like London. Handmade and all. Hope you'll drop by and see our fantasy bath. -- Jane F.
That's Wonderful! You are so creative! Looks great too. Thanks for linking up!
I think you are most clever, creative, and thrifty. Great job! Thanks for sharing and Happy Easter.
I had that jacket once upon a a time. WalMart, I think - right! What an amazing redo!
Wow that is awesome!!! I love the purse
Girl, I think you are amazing...way to rock it out. I gave my girlfriend a dress for her to cut up for dress up box stuff that I walked in a wedding in. I also gave the shoes for her to play dress up...it was all hot pink.
I love to free-cycle stuff.
Wow! That is so chic looking!
Great job. :o)

That's simply gorgeous! Just gorgeous!
