Two skirts refashioned into a bag

You know that feeling when you find a scrummy piece of clothing in a charity shop and you just *know* that it will come in useful?

Well, I found not one but TWO skirts like that in the same shop on the same day! 

What are the chances, eh?

I didn't really have any plans but I knew that they would go together beautifully.

As I only wanted to use one half of the pink skirt I was limited as to what I could make.

But I do love to make a nice bag or two!

So I set about designing a bag to incorporate both skirts.

And this is how it turned out :

It's softly padded throughout.  I even figured out a way to make ultra-padded handles which have a nice feel about them.

The top of the bag on the inside was pink and I also utilised the skirt lining as the interior fabric.

I had so much fun with this project!!!

Happy refashioning!
