Purse for Valentines Day 2015

Notes: The goal was to have the up-cycled style of material reuse. The collar on my shirt had seen much better days, but I didn't want to junk it. The pockets are also sized to hold my cell phone. Tandy Leather recently had bags of deerskin scraps for $4. The best part of this material is that it will accept dye. - David Henry
