recycled sweater change purses

Last weekend I had too much fun felting a bunch of moth eaten old sweaters and these little purses were the end result. I added some vintage shell buttons I inherited from my grandmother (who NEVER discarded any clothes without cutting off all the buttons first), new embroidery floss and a few star beads left from a class I taught. They are 3.25" X 3.50" except the kitty one which is only 3" X 3.50". The bottom two have a cool old snap closure ( also from grandma same stash!) and the top one buttons. The purple one is cashmere...oo la la!
