Many moons ago, this purse came with a leather strap. I still have it hanging around here, unusable for the purpose intended because at one end the hardware piece broke.
I sat down and went through my sewing notions and came across this chain. I picked it up at Fabricland years ago when I was thinking about sewing a Chanel inspired cardigan jacket. Plans often change around here and I've never got around to sewing the jacket even though I gathered much of the supplies. And at this point in my life, I wouldn't have anywhere to wear such a garment. But I digress.
The chain ended up being a perfect alternative for the handbag. After rummaging though a tool box, I found some tools to help open and close the chain links. It's easy peasy when you can find the tools to help with the repairs. Actually, I did repair it once before, no tools required other than the sewing machine.
It was back in 2020, I believe, that I used a scarf as a strap. An old recycling trick to make it usable. I prefer the metal chain, it's more my style and less fussy.
Stay Safe and Keep Sewing!
