Pocket Purses

pocketpurses

I’ve been meaning to make these for a while, and since we’re so close to Easter, I decided to throw them into the basket with whatever other goodies I can pull together.

If you’re thinking they look a bit familiar, you’re right. They are the cuffs from the same sweaters that I used to make the heart-felt scarf. There’s so much left of those sweaters and I’m determined to use as much of it as I can!

I had originally intended to make some simple purses for the girls, but the more I thought about it, the more a pocket seemed like the right direction to take. They love pockets! I figure this way they can have a pocket handy no matter what they’re wearing.  Plus these were super easy to make. Just lop off the cuffs, turn inside out, sew the ends, add a handy strap, turn the right way and you’re done!

I really think they’re going to go over well and can’t wait to give them to the girls. I’m thinking about adding a little something to them. Perhaps a flower or butterfly applique? Any thoughts?
