a Tote!!
Oh, this is a fun one! I began with a very loud skirt.
 |
| This is a thrift store score from about six months ago. |
I paired the skirt with a funky striped sheet (another thrift store score) and some red bias tape (would you believe it? Another thrift store score).
 |
| I think that this fabric makes a much cuter tote than a skirt. Are those green dinosaurs on there? |
 |
| I seriously love the stripey fabric lining this bag! I added pockets to both sides inside the bag. |
 |
| Again, I love the two fabrics together! I used the red bias tape on the straps. |
 |
| This was the unintended side effect of using one long piece for the bag. The back side is upside down! |
I enjoy making my bags with one long piece, folded in half with only the sides and top sewn. But if you are using printed fabric, one side will end up being upside down. Oops!

What a terrific make-over! Yeah, that skirt is a bit much but it works so well now that is a bag!
This turned out great! You might be be able to disprove the argument that two wrongs don't make a right. That skirt was certainly "wrong" and the sheet wasn't much better, but together as a tote...It's Fabulous!! Good Job!!! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
This is so cute and I am glad you made a tote and not wore it as a skirt, haha....I am following you now. Cute etsy shop too!!!

That fabric is WAY more fun as a tote/purse! Good idea :)
Great way to turn a skirt to a functional tote! Thanks for sharing. We hope you will consider helping kids with cancer by linking into the Miracle Makeover party this coming week

Great job! Though, I would say, I'd like the skirt as well.
