Up-cycled silk sari gathered purse...part 1?

So I had this wonderful piece of silk from an old sari that was just dying to be made into a purse. I attempted it today. Just like my cooking, I tend to experiment...i.e. no pattern. Let's say it was not a roaring success. Since the silk was from an old garment, it was shaped funny. Made for a funny looking purse. I am now faced with the tedious task of either ripping out all the stitches or going with the funny shape. I have a feeling that the little perfectionist that lives within me will not allow a funny looking purse.....I will let it percolate a few hours to see what needs to happen.
