I have been wanting a crochet fringe purse since I saw the Chanel bag this past summer......it also reminds me of the crochet bags I had as a kid in the 70's that I loved.
but as I do not want to spend $3000.00 for a freakin bag I came up with my own.

This crochet dress was at my church thrift store that I haunt for $2.99 & I thought it would make a great purse for my trip to the beach.
I had this old purse that I kept for the chain knowing one day I would re-use it. I got my husband to remove the chain complete with hooks.
I snipped the threads that held together the Gypsy bodice & removed.
I used the zig zag stitch for the bottom of the inner bag for strength.
Hand sew the chain & link to bag.
I then decided to add a rhinestone zipper that I already had & did that by hand as the crochet is quite thick. The zipper cost more than the dress that I got last year for $4.99.
I am trying out my new bag today to see if my stitching holds out on my $8.00 crochet fringe purse.
