Hi Everyone:
So last night, I felt the need to make something. I went to the thrift store a couple of weeks
ago and found this black leather skirt for like $4. I thought ewwww, I can make this into a really
big handbag. Well last night I made that
idea come true.
First, I flipped the skirt inside out and sewed the split
down. Then I stitched the bottom across.
I am so glad the skirt as lined.
Next, I cut the top off, at the height that I wanted. I then hemmed it on top. I thought, what can I use for straps? My husband had an old belt that was too small
for him so I cut it and punched 4 holes on each end. I then matched where I wanted my straps to be
attached and punched holes in the skirt as well. I put rivets in them and boom. My big handy dandy skirt/bag was
re-born. I am a pack rat, so I love
it. I will probably need surgeries in
the future for shoulder and back pain but hey right now, I am happy.
