Little Scrap Purse

Little purse made with scraps from ends of lanyards

Below are some of the lanyards I wear to work

These lanywards are made by cutting the width of the fabric and then shortening it to fit the length I need.  These pieces on the side of the purse are the leftover ends of these lanyards.  My mom and I have been making them for the nurses at work and therefore had tons of ends. 

Here is a close up of the scraps sewn onto the purse.

I bought alot of these fabrics at Hancocks of Paducah when I was there for the AQS in April.

This is the other side of my purse.

This pictures shows the size of the purse.

Side view, I used a different color button on each side

Inside my scrap purse ~ I made it colorful with lots of pockets!

It has a magnetic closure and place for credit cards and drivers license

Other interior side

Interior side ~ a hook to hang my keys

I used a heavy canvas in off white.  I thought it would go with all my scraps and because I would not have to line the purse if I used something in a heavy weight.  The bottom blue piece is a stiff peice of cardboard covered to allow it to stand upright when sat down.   

Here is Dale enjoying his new shave.  I trimmed his girly tale for everyone who wants to know.  The vote was an overwhelming YES! "Trim his tail", Sooooo.....

Dale's tail is trimmed!
