Description

Made from two pairs of old school trousers and an old shirt. Inspired by corsets.

Instructions

  1. Small 104224 2f2014 09 05 111944 img 1575

    Collect your trouser and shirt. Cut them up to form this: Play around with what you want the front of the bag to look like, but don't secure anything yet.

  2. Small 104224 2f2014 09 05 112033 img 1577

    Attach the D-Rings using some black ribbon. Sew a long line down because this will probably save thread.

  3. If had hemmed the ribbons my sewing wouldn't have coped, so I painted the ends with clear nail varnish to stop it from fraying. (this will be hidden)

  4. Small 104224 2f2014 09 05 112256 img 1579

    Lace the long black ribbon through the D-rings and stitch the top (as discreetly as you can( so that is doesn't move all over the place)

  5. Now follow this tutorial to make the actual bag (it is an older bag that I made) http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/school-bag
