This Anthropologie skirt cried out to be a bag when I saw it! It took a couple of tries,but I finally made it into a bag that fit my lifestyle. I LOVE that its brightly colored, fashionable and sturdy!

Originally I turned this mini skirt into a bag to hold my yarn collection.

| 1st Draft |
 |
| Craft Bag |
It was great and functional as a craft bag, but I felt like Poppy (that's what I named her) was pretty enough to be seen. So I added handles.

| Added Pre-made Handles |
I recycled the handles from another bag.

| 2nd DRAFT |
This version of the bag was nice, but the fabric was too floppy and unstructured. So I added a canvas liner.

| The liner gives is structure |
NOW, Poppy is street ready!

| Final Version! |

Very nice bag! The extra details like salvaged scraps and liner make it great!
