Description

Made this shoulder bag of an old hippie skirt. Really easy to make and roomy enough for school or shopping.

Instructions

  1. Small v c3 a4ska 1 1269961350

    Cut out two pieces of a fabric you like. I chose the back and the front of a skirt made of a quite thick fabric. The shape of my bag looks something like this (not exactly but :P) and the size is around 40x40 cm.

  2. Small v c3 a4ska 2 1269961908

    Fold and sew the top of each piece.

  3. Small v c3 a4ska kants c3 b6m 1269961943

    Place the pieces inside out and sew them together around the edge.

  4. Small v c3 a4ska 3 1269962399

    Attach a strap. For my bag I used the belt from the skirt which is a braid in the same colours as the fabric.
