I have been sewing

I had this idea, and after thinking about it for the longest time I finally dusted off my sewing machine and got stuck in.

I started with a suede jacket, a shirt, a mini skirt and a belt....


....then did this, before going away to think about the project for a few days because suddenly I had no idea what I was doing.....
I eventually ended up with this fully reversible bag with lots of pockets!
What do you think?
I'm pretty pleased with the end result.

  2. Ah, practice makes perfect!
    I have another one planned, slightly simpler but hopefully just as nice.

  3. These remind me of a style I used to really like in the '70s. You've made it fresh and modern. Well done :)

  4. This is fab! The pink stripes work especially well as a bag. And using the belt was a very clever move.
