or maybe not?
I found this craft project while I was surfing around today. While it is adorably cute, I just don't know if I myself could carry it around knowing what it came from. :D
Thought you might like to see though...

Well....sorry but since I wear a size that would make a good purse...I'd rather carry one that's totally embellished than WEAR it!! hehe *sigh*

Mine would be a coin purse too. I wouldnt do this with a plain white bra that looks like a plain white bra but if I had a really pretty bra that had worn out straps or something I might consider it. Think patterned cotton or some sort of velvet. Could be pretty.

Well, I wouldn't carry one either . . . except on the breast cancer events that my daughter and I do together (Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure and Avon Walk for Breast Cancer). We do at least one of those big events each year. And, you'll see pretty much anything . . . it's all in the spirit of the event. Then I would . . . and that the ONLY time I wear my t-shirt that says "Walker for Knockers". And I wear that ONLY in the event camp!!

I giggled then told the DH , I then pictured myself making one with a VS bra I hate wearing, very uncomfortable. Now I really think I may just make it, and the clothes pin bag is a great idea too if only I had a clothes line, but you can always put your makeup in it or hang it near where you are to catch lil things.Lol

I went to a quilting retreat a few years back and one of the 'gag' patterns was similar to this.....the lady that made the pattern made a huge big deal over embellishments..sparkles, fringe, etc. totally rediculous in my opinion.....

I think they are tacky. A few girls at school were carrying them around. That was a whole issue! They even had a special session of the school board to decide if they needed to add some type of rule that undergarments couldnt be worn as clothing or used as accessories. I am certainly not a prude but some things are meant to be kept private!

I wouldn't carry one but I can see my youngest daughter carrying one. It would have to be pink and black and it would have to come from one of her sisters. They both were large ones but hers is a 27AA. Wouldn't even carry change. LOL
