Once I was going to make a dress from this super-mod, 1960s dress pattern. The dress had these pocket flaps that were supposed to be sewn to the from of the dress to look like pockets. I hate fake pockets, I cut out the flaps but did not sew them to the dress. Anyway, today I turned those leftover flaps into a tiny purse I plan on giving as a birthday gift.

After I made that, I made a necklace from the beads of a necklace that my mother got in 1970-sometime and later gave to me, which eventually broke. The silver tube and animal beads were from my mother's necklace. The original pattern was just four tubes and then an animal, with six tubes on each end of the necklace:
