This purse is made from an old blue flannel shirt, two neckties, and some blue tweed houndstooth fabric. The bag is reversible, with one side houndstooth and the other side flannel. The flannel side has the still functional shirt buttons down the front, and is solid on the back. The houndstooth side has a pocket from the flannel shirt appliqued onto the front, and is solid on the back. The neckties loop around the bag to form a handle, with a different tie for each unique half of the bag. The flannel side has a blue, teal, and pink plaid tie, and the houndstooth side has a light blue tie with a small flower pattern. This bag is made from my own pattern, but is one of a kind based on the materials used to construct it. This particular bag can be found on my Etsy page http://minimeg.etsy.com
