reusing a skirt
It's so much fun reusing things!! I haven't done much yet but I am liking it more and more.
A couple weeks ago I bought some clothes off of a girl. She had this really cute skirt which was a little too big for me but I liked the details on it so I got it anyway. My first idea was to turn it into a pillow case but I really wanted to use the waistband so I thought it would look best on a purse.
This is what the skirt looked like. Isn't the stitching pretty?
I started cutting off the waistband and cut out some of the plain brown part to make the bag a little shorter. I put some pleats in and then cut out the corners to give the bag a bottom. It is still pretty long, but I will just use it as a large shopper. :)
Next I cut out the zipper, put a hot pink lining inside and attached a pair of fake leather handles I already had at home. Voila - done! :)

My mug rugs arrived!
My mug rugs came in the mail yesterday and I love them! They are so colorful and PINK!!! Thank you Patty Anne, you did a great job!!!
(For some reason my pictures won't rotate...I will try to fix it later on again.)
Now look at this goody!! How pretty is that! Patty Ann is an authorized dealer for Schaft Weaving and Spinning Products. This little zippy is made out of her very own handwoven fabric. This is her website. She gives classes in how to make scarfs, tablerunners, and much more. Sounds like so much fun!! Maybe I will be able to stop by sometime in May when we head back to SC. :))
Again, the picture won't rotate..sorry.
