Necktie purse
21 September 2008The title of this post could also be “I wish I was braver.” I recently saw a tutorial on how to make a purse out of neckties. Then, I found an entire pile of neckties around the house. They are now sitting in the sewing room next to the huge pile of clothes that will never be mended. I love the way it looks & I have enough ties to make several purses, cell phone holders & maybe even a laptop carrier.
The only problem is that I’m scared. I can sew a straight line, which is pretty much all this project requires. I’m just terrified that I’ll mess up. I just know that one day I’ll be feeling really confident & someone will come up to me & say “Umm your necktie purse is breaking.” I haven’t been this worried about anything since the a/c compressor in my car went to heaven & I didn’t know how to fix it. It’s just fashion. I shouldn’t be so stressed out over it. Even more than that, it’s supposed to be a fun project. I guess I will try it & worst case scenario I can undo the ties & donate them to a thrift store.
