Hi everyone! This is my first post. I am happy to be sharing on Refashion Co-op.
My daughter has a friend who had a skirt she wanted made into a purse. I had made a few purses from skirts and shorts so I agreed.
I found a scrap piece of fabric for the liner I knew would match the color. There was enough to make a zippered pocket on the inside and a shoulder strap. It was perfect to have the colorful floral fabric on the inside of the burgundy corduroy skirt.
I put an X to hold the shoulder strap, stitched and squared the bottom of the skirt.
Here is the final piece. She has enjoyed the purse and my daughter continues to come home with projects for herself and her friends.

Nicely done. Good choice of contrast fabric.
That's a great first blog post here on RC. Love the colour of this bag

That is an awesome idea. I actually have a little denim mini from when I was younger which I have been reluctant to throw out / give away. Now I know what I am gong to be doing with it, thanks to you :) Just need to find some lovely floral material for the lining. Thanks for the inspiration!
