I bought a fabulous ladies skirt in a charity shop last year sometime. Well, my daughter was pleading with me at the time because I'd realised I could make it into a swing top for her.
Easy peasy - cut a section out of both sides and sew up. Make the cut out sections into straps and you'd never know that it was never a swing top! My original blog post is here.
So anyway, my daughter has now outgrown the top. It is no longer 'her thing'.
So I reclaimed the fabric and re-refashioned it into a bucket bag!
With a black and white interior and a poppy pocket - I can never find the pockets at the best of times, so this ensured that it was at least visible!
I just love taking something and making it into something else!

Happy refashioning!!
Love the bag. That bag design really suits the fabric. Great job.

That is beautiful fabric, great that you found 2 reuses for it. Love the polka dots and floweer combo.
