Recycled Tote Bag

Make a tote bag from a skirt.
< Image 1 of 2 >

My friends had a clothes swap and I got this pretty a-line skirt. It was too small for me, but I was in love with the embroidered flower. So, I decided to make it into a simple tote bag.

I trimmed off the bottom and top of the skirt.
I sewed the bottom closed, then folded in the corners to create an "I" seam. I removed the back zipper and sewed up the back seam.

I then used a wide grosgrain ribbon for the top binding and handles.
