Seat Belt Purse

I saw the most beautiful purse online. I drooled with envy at the beautiful colors, the shape, even the design was flawlessly perfect. I'm sure many of you have heard of a Harvey's Seat belt purse? They are amazing. I had to have it! The colors were perfectly yacht club summeresque (not to mention, it would match perfectly with a skirt I was working on). My outfit would be complete....BUT WAIT! $200?? Did I see that right?? Maybe there is an extra zero there? No? Too much to hope for, right?

So my mind started turning. I examined every picture, from every angle. I scrutinized, hypothesized, and theorized. A quick online order later, I was well on my way to making my own seat belt purse, and yes, for only $20!

Here's some pictures with the final outcome:






I did make a few choices that I could do better next time, and a few seams that were a bit tricky and I would have re-done had I not already spent about 100 hours sewing. (I'm only sorta kidding). Luckily, I think I could tackle another one in a fraction of the time after learning from my mistakes.

Let me know if anyone is interested in a tutorial. I am contemplating making another one and I could easily take a few pictures along the way.

That is awesome! You did a great job! Did you need a heavy duty sewing machine to sew through all those straps?

Hey guys!

I know some folks here who have gotten results with Male-Extra penis enhancement pills. Im just about to order as i've been hearing amazing results with it. But first off, I want to know if Male Extra does it work as good as they say it does?

I know 1-2 inches Penis growth is realistic and easily accomplished. But I'd like REAL FAST penis growth in the 5 inches range. Dont laugh, I want to have the best penis growth possible because my new girlfriend dated a friggin porn stud!

Guys here know what im talking about?

I want...no make that I NEED to know the best way to enlarge Penis. Male-extra pills promises 3 inches growth within several weeks or they return your money. So I guess that essentially means, if my penis dont grow real fast? They lose money, coz I got to use the pills at the same time get my money back right?

Does this seem like a scam?

Please reply at the soonest possible time!
I need to make a decision fast!

Im already sold on it to be honest, but I just need that one last push so I dont put this off any longer.


The advertisement for the pill I last saw at this site. I hope its still there.
