Tie Purse

One of the bags made by brain injury survivor Rosalie, from my Uncle Tom's ties. Rosalie was a cardiac nurse before her brain injury. She was also big into sewing, her mom was a seamstress. After her injury she had to relearn to sew. She likes making the tie purses because she finds it like working a puzzle, matching the different ties into a single purse. All hand made.
