I just made this purse from an old jacket I had in the closet. About 5 years ago my sister and I were in a little boutique in Springfield, Illinois and saw these jackets. We both loved them and both bought one. The other day she was saying she never wears hers and I said "yeah, I never wear mine either". I said that I thought the jacket would make a cute purse and that I'd give it go - if it turned out I said I make her one too. What do ya think? I think it turned our REALLY cute!
