My Mother-in-Law knows that I love tinkering with fabulous fabric so she gave me the following skirt to play with:
After much sewing, interfacing, padding and matching of fabric, it now looks like this shopper:
I took the belt and belt loops off the skirt and added them for extra detailing. And it's sturdy enough to stand up on its own! The handles are even padded for added comfort.
There was more skirt fabric left over so I also added a split internal pocket. You can never have too many pockets in a bag!
She hasn't seen the end result yet and doesn't know that she will be getting it back as part of her Christmas present!
Feel free to head on over to my blog for more details and pictures:
