Make a Handbag from a Fancy Shopping Bag


I've really been wanting to make a handbag from one of these fancy Kitten D'Amour shopping bags ever since I first saw them. I decided to use the last of one of my precious owl fabrics to make an inner for my bag.


I drew up this little diagram to help me figure out what my inside bag pieces should look like.


Here's how it turned out in the end! I think it makes a pretty cute handbag & gives me a memento from one of my favourite stores that I can't often afford to shop at. If you're interested in me trying to explain how I made this I wrote a bit of a tutorial here.

I never think to use those sorts of bags in refashions. I love that you have me thinking more creatively about what I can re-use! -Seeks, EOD
