Corspe raiding, just in time for Halloween
















My favorite purse was violated by my knitting project last week. (My emergency/waiting room sock wormed it's way through the side.) I want to sew something similar, so I decided to harvest the hardware in an attempt to reuse what I can. (Notions get expensive.)










First, I snipped out the lining. The toggles on the outside just cut out, no problems.










The magentic snap required the use of a screwdriver, but the flaps lifted up easily enough.








Now I have all of the guts required to sew my new purse!

That is SUCH a good idea! I bet you can save $ by buying bags at yard sales and taking the hardware from them. Great idea!
