Does anyone know if there is a tutorial online somewhere to make a corset into a purse or if it's even possible. I have a couple of them packed away that were really expensive and hate to just toss them out.

I think it would be much easier than a bra purse. All depends on how the bottom edge is constructed. I would not cut into the boning. Just seam across the bottom, drop in a lining, reinforce the straps and embellish the heck out of it. Good luck!

I have a corset purse pattern for embroidery machine. Very cute.

I have two versions 5x7 and 6x10.

I saw one recently while surfing but unfortunately can't find it right now. I believe it was under a breast cancer bra challenge site.

The ghees.com site suggested starting with an underwire bra.

Here are some pics
