I found this via Make - it's a purse, made from, ahem, a bra. Instructions available at Craftbits:
I guess that your own anatomy will determine whether you make an evening or hobo bag???
I poked around Craftbits a bit and found these Fortune Cookie Gift Pockets that I thought were worth consideration.
I know you are probably wondering, "what the heck have you been making?". I haven't finished anything in what seems like ages. I have however, been cooking lots (mainly to satisfy my cravings) and working lots (lawyering is admittedly scads more lucrative than crafting, though not as fun). My craft room is totally under construction and I cannot get to anything without a hassle that is just not surmountable.
I am so inspired by Toni at Simple Sparrow. She is a crafting machine (and mother of five which blows my current excuse for paltry crafty due to pregnancy with #2). Not only is she a wonderful crafter, but a sweetheart. I received the most delightful birthday package today. A precious lime green (my fave color)Japanese handbag, some buttons, tea and book of needles (desperately needed). Thank you Toni! (picture is lame, sorry for the exposure)
You are so welcome Dixie! It was my very fun pleasure! xox.

My bras are all grey and sad, so I fear they wouldn't have quite the same effect. Nice idea though.
