Lazy Day Purse

This is my newest addition to my purse family. It's soft shape kind of just makes you want to take it slow, like a nice warm Saturday afternoon in June. Beading and embroidery keep it from looking too casual, and soft gathers at the top make sure that it has lots of room inside to store things. I lined it completely with soft white cotton and put in a zippered pocket so you can seperate out the most important things that you don't want lost. The strap attaches with d-rings and is a comfortable over the shoulder length. Originally, this fabric was an unwanted skirt at a thrift store. I took it home, washed it, cut it apart, and sewed it back together into this purse. The d-rings also came off of an unloved garment, as did the zipper. The button is a vintage leather woven button. I found a few cards from the 1950's and 60's, and this button seemed to match perfectly.
