Saturday Tid Bits-Before and After of a Purse

What to do with my old purse.  I liked my yellow purse.  I think it was the first colorful purse I had ever owned.  You know ..black, brown, beige.  Oh and maybe white...so this was a pretty bold step.  But things happen.  Pens leak, and I have had that problem with more than one purse.  The last leak was at my daughter's house and I hope she is still not finding ink marks where I set my purse down.

So how to re-purpose my purse.  The only thing I could think that I needed was a new bible cover.  Ok, would it fit? Let's take a look.

A nice big section on the back ( I have a small bible) But wait, just look at what is on the front.

Hmmm, for my new purse, I could use a coin purse and a cell phone holder, or a pen holder....Anyway, this fake leather is so easy to cut with scissors and there are no ravels.  While I was at it, I took an idea from my son-in-law/daughter and kept the heavy duty zipper and the other hardware.   Never know when they may be needed.
Here are the finished products..

I am excited about the coin purse.  The bottom of my purse is always full of coins. Now, they will be contained and I will be able to find what I need.
