Free - Race for the Cure Bracelet Purse Pattern

[Pam Gillette]

In honor of the upcoming Race for the Cure http://www.racecure.org/ I made this little purse to keep my keys and cell phone in when I’m walking for the cure. The purse has 2 different length handles, when the long one is slipped through the shorter one, it completely closes the purse to secure your small items, then slips on your wrist like a bracelet.

 

I did not invent this concept; it’s been done before on the “Lucy Bag†on Lion Brand’s website (with a way bigger purse than this) and I’m sure there are many other variations out there. I can't take credit on this great idea, but I sure like it and it filled a need.

 

Pattern is on my blog

I believe I should have this in the Pattern category instead of the Show-and-Tell category - does anyone know how I do that? - BTW - thanks for the sweet comments on this purse! -Pam

Thanks for sharing your pattern............very cute! I'm going to make one and will try hanging it on a hook (carabeaner) from my belt or belt loop. Looks ideal for walking!

Cute.. would be cute for a little girl and great for going to swap meets or shopping trips when you don't want to take a purse through the mall etc.

Very cute

Thanks I really like how small it is and how it fits the wrist without falling off

[faedragon]

You did a wonderful jopb. I had nver seen one of thse actually on someones wrist, so thanks for the pic of it on yours. I go t the Renfest in Maryland every year( severaltimes each year) and always have a problem finding something to keep my keys and money close. Now I'm going to make one of thses to match each outfit my best freind and I wear.
