I can’t seem to find the link to the tutorial for the purse from neckties.
So sorry! It looks like I forgot to add in the linking. I’ve edited the post so it should show up for you now.

I’m getting a school bag rather than the purse. I love this purse.
The school bag is the same as what I’m describing as a purse. I thought it looked more like a “purse” than a school bag, so that’s how I described it when I linked to it. Sorry for the confusion! –Anne
I would love to have the pattern for this purse. My late husband was a great tie man, I have a large drawer full of ties. I know my daughter and daughter-in-law would love to have a purse made out of his ties.
Thanks
