Here's a purse from ONE silk tie. A wide tie, however! If you want the directions, please send a pm to quilter123 here on cute...she told me how to do it! I think it turned out pretty good. Plan on doing some more. And thank you for the directions, cutie! (Next time I should iron the sheet anything is laying on! Would show better!)

First I mis-typed the name! It's quilter124! For you gals asking how to send a private message: go to the community; then click on the far right tab saying "private" when that comes up, to the right you will see "Private Message" click on that; when the screen opens there's a place to put "to" and there you type quilter124..then write your message in the other box below. Then "submit" When you get an answer back there will be a +1 beside that private tab, so be sure & check it! To answer back to quilter, you need to do a "comment" to your own message so it will go back to whom every you are messageing with. Hope this is clear & helpful!

It is lovely - didn't realize there was that much fabric in a tie.

You do need one that's wide. I did one with a more narrow tie, & had to cut the base fabric down to match the amount of material I had! But it still looks good.

Gerry, you did a great job and followed the directions very well....it looks great.....and if you have a 100% silk tie, you will have plenty of fabric to make this purse, just remember it is all on the bias so you must sew it carefully, but they look lovely.....and I am so proud of you Gerry.....will send out instructions tomorrow for the 14 that have sent me PM's....have been away from the computer today.

I like this so much! I think you started out with a beautiful tie, and love the button closure.
