Pocket Purse

A kid's favorite outgrown pants can be more than a stylish memory if you turn the pockets into a hip pocket purse. Little trendsetters can pick from this season's ribbons for a flattering purse handle.

Pocket Purse How-To
Use a seam ripper to remove two back pockets from old pants. Ask your daughter how long she'd like the purse handle to be, then cut a length of sturdy ribbon, such as grosgrain, to the desired size. Pin pockets together, right sides out, and sandwich ribbon between the pockets to form a handle. Stitch over old seams with matching thread. Anchor ribbon ends inside pockets by stitching over them.
