Once Upon a Bag…
A funny thing happened a few weeks ago, I made something and forgot about it. No not one of my pink pants recons (see A Challenge), really need to get back to that. My everyday bag has been looking a bit worn lately, so I thought I’d whip up a new one. I had a shirt my mom dumped on me that I thought would be perfect.
Here’s the before. The t-shirt had some holes and a few stains in odd places, but it had some sparkly embroidery that was promising.
And now the after. I cut two large rectangles to sew the body of the bag and cut the embroidery off separately then attached it to the front of the bag. There just wasn’t enough usable material around the embroidery, so doing it this way made more sense. I cut strips from the rest of the t-shirt and twisted them into cords for the straps. I also used some fabric I had lying around for a lining, no photos of that though, not exactly easy to take a picture of that. Overall I think I did a decent job, except one little problem. I don’t like it. The bag just isn’t my style, strange since I made it. I tried to use it, but it didn’t feel right. Oh well, at least I can make another one. I just need to figure out what to do with this one. Hmm.

Cute!
