craftyhunnypie Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 In the lead up to Xmas we were all so busy making things. Now it's over we seem to have gone on strike a bit. I am knitting bootees for my sister & jam making, but just wondered if there were any other things we could be making? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAB Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Stoice have you had a look at the "bra purse" on the link you posted - apparently you use an "old bra" but the one that is pictured looks very new to me - my old bras would look nothing like that!!!!

Plum Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It might be a bit aromatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Moocher Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Grey purse anyone? Also not much money would fit into any purses I could make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 If I made a purse - it would hold a fair few pounds! Clever idea & great site! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 not to brag about it but mine would hold your life savings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Moocher Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 well, I could probably carry my life savings on me if someone can tell me how to make a purse from my pants. TMI ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I was just sat here giggling at your comments and my daughter wanted to know what I was laughing at We both thought a bra purse would be a little unusual to say the least Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 I wouldn't want to be parading my underwear in public! That site does have some interesting things. When I've mastered the art of crochet I shall be doing some patterns off there. I prefer the juice carton purses & the Malteasers bag (gives a good excuse to eat loads & remember they're lighter than ordinary chocolate)!

Lesley Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 If I find any bra comfortable and it fits then I'll wear it to the death (M&S sizes are rubbish! - they keep getting smaller ............nothing to do with me of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 If you used one of my bras you could make a handbag or a rucksac rather than a purse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnie the Moocher Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think Egluntine might be referring to the bra purse bit of the thread on page 1, Chicky. She'll be back in a minute to tell us how enormous her purse would be and make me feel even more like an ironing board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
