Thing-A-Day 2/15/10: Upcycled Bag

By Trula on February 15th, 2010

Today I made a new bag from several different clothing items I upcycled. The green bottom of the bag is a handmade hat I got a few years ago, I wore it for a couple of winters but needed a change this winter. The two upper parts of the bag are from 2 different pairs of pants, and the lining is this pretty dark purple velvet from an old dress of my daughter’s/ The handles are from a pair of jeans and corduroys. I like how it looks with the handle rough and raggedy, but U will probably edge up the handle for a more finished look in a bit.
