I've been sewing like a crazy woman this weekend. The weather was cold and rainy and J wasn't in town, so what else to do than sew?! My creativity was about to burst and I could not sit still for five minutes I had to get these creations "out of me".
I have so much to show you that I'll post about it all in parts. The first part is about a bag I sewn for a friend (Caroline), she hasn't seen it yet but I hope she'll see it here and tell me if she likes it, or not!:-) I found an old skirt that I once used to love but had grown tired of, the fabric was really great, sturdy and perfect for a bag! I also got inspired from the use
what you have challenge, to create out of something old.

I forgot to take a picture of the bag, but there it is cut into pieces!

I used the zipper from the skirt to make a pocket for a cell phone and the whole for the belt to make a nifty place to hang your keys!

To brighten the gray bag up a little I made one of my
fabric flowers as a pin, this is removable...

And here the finished result can be seen!
Hope she'll like it, or I'll have to keep it for myself....:-)
