So today in honour of this auspicious occasion I present my VE day commemorative purse:
Whilst looking for some blue fabric for the base I came across this monsoon skirt that had made its way into my fabric stash. I bought it a while ago and it was too big for me so I altered it to fit and had only worn it twice when it got splashed with bleach (don’t ask)! So yesterday I took the scissors to it.
Now I have a pile of lovely denim and a zip and little button.
So I used this denim as a base to make my new little purses. Embellished of course with patriotic beads as a zip pull.
♥ LEST WE FORGET ♥
Back Soon

Fab use of the denim for your purses! You should sell these Kandi as they are brilliant.

I love all your UJ makes. There are so many of them around at the moment, but yours are just that little bit different.xx
How fab! I always love a patriotic piece and this is just perfect.
It's a shame that VE Day has been slightly overshadowed by all the hooha about the election isn't it?
Aww what a thoughtful post. And I am a huge fan of reduce, reuse and recycle (or is it re-purpose? Or up-cycle?) so finding such a great chic use for your skirt is ace. My sis gave me a pair of lovely 'preloved' tweed trousers for my stash today - I'm inspired by this post to bite the bullet and get the scissors out! xox
The purse looks great!

Another fabulous make Kandi. That design is so in fashion at the moment too.

Is the zip a recycled one from the skirt? If so I didn't know thatyou could do that!
Love the purse.

These are so cool. Nice touch with the lace.
These are very cute purses.... dont you have a shop????
I love your purses - and agree with the other girls - your should sell them! x
Aww, thanks again ladies. People have contacted me to buy bits and pieces but I don't have a shop as such. Vicki that particular zip is not the one from the denim skirt but yes you can remove and recycle zips.
