I am always in a search for a good piece I can refashion, or use a piece of fabric to make flowers for my projects, so I've asked family and friends to consult me about interesting clothing / fabric before throwing them out, and so it happened that I received this bubble dress.
The minute I saw it, I knew it would make a perfect bag for my crochet goodies. Whenever, we go on a trip, I always carry my ongoing crochet projects with me, and I thought this one would be great to carry everything I need. 
What I did: I cut off the upper panel and sew that part up. Turned the bag upside-down, so the bottom came up, made a hole on the other end so that I can pull the straps on the other side as well. And lastly, I sewed flowers to decorate it.
We are going on a trip soon, and I cannot wait to see how and if this would be practical.
What a great idea to upcycle old clothes! I hope you have a nice trip. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Alhana! Cannot wait! We are going to Ohrid for our holidays, where I hope to have some quality time resting as well as working on my future designs :)
DeleteI love how you have upcycled the dress, Maya. Love too, the gorgeous crochet flowers accessorising the bag. This will be perfect for your trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim :)
DeleteIt will be tested in less than a week.
What a creative idea to fashion clothing into a project bag! I love it and it looks so pretty. You did a great job Maya and I hope you enjoy using this bag.
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie! I just hate seeing a good and usable piece thrown into the landfill.
DeleteWhat a fabulous idea, and I love your embellishments.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jo!
DeleteI love the floral sprig. It really brightens up the bag.
ReplyDeleteFabulous re-purpose Maya and doesn't the black provide such a great background for your gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your bubble dress to yarn bag re-purpose at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I'm delighted to be featuring it at tomorrow's party and pinning too.
Hugs,
