in a former life...

...this cute little bag was a men's shirt (the blue), a junior's top (the lighter floral), and a maternity dress (the dark pink floral). All thrifted here on Fort Irwin. You just can't get fabric cheaper than buying clothing for 25 cents a piece. Do you know how much fabric there is in an XXL men's shirt?! A lot.

The pocket was taken right off the shirt, and will make a great little spot for keys or cell phone.

I got fancy with the stitching on the handles, too. I really like how it turned out.

    Very cute! Is this one for yourself or a gift for someone else? I am so glad you have gotten into sewing, I need to get back into doing more of it again. Love you, Mom

    HA! HA HA! In my spare time I'll open for customs. Or when pigs fly- whichever comes first.

    And this one is a gift! I made one for Daisy for her birthday and also for her friend Briana's birthday and never posted pictures of them. I need to do that one time- they turned out really cute!

    Very Nice! You are amazing! Can you teach Grammy how to do some of this stuff? So, she could make some gifts too! Pops

    Just awesome, Jennifer! I'm finally getting back into sewing (when I get back to MI). I have lots of plans. I guess I'll have to show them off when I'm done like you do (love seeing your projects), but mine won't be nearly as pretty (or well done) as yours! :)
