Making a wristlet out of an old t-shirt

What I did:

Before

My client's daughter was very attached to an adorable but now old, stained, and too small t-shirt.

Before: the old t-shirt, with the fabrics scraps and zipper that I would use to make the wristlet.

After

To get more use out of the beloved shirt, my client asked me to make a wristlet (a little purse with a wrist strap) for her daughter out of the shirt and some fabric scraps.
