I looked around you tube and found a tutorial for a reversible tote bag, but they used the same material for the straps for both ways, whereas I wanted mine to each match the tote colour. So I fiddled around until I worked out how to do it.
I don't really have any fabric yet, so I cut up another one of my mum's old skirts and I also cut up a pair of my old kitchen curtains.
The results:
One side
The reverse side
I know it's not exactly professional, but I can't believe I've actually made something I can use!
When I am able to get some nice fabric, it would be nice to make a little bag embellished with some stitching, buttons, or something fun. I'm also itching to try some curtains and some more cushions in nice material, plus making them a bit more fancy maybe.
Anyhow, I've been looking in the charity shops, but nothing fabric wise has turned up yet.
I hope I find some soon! Otherwise everyone will be in fear for their wardrobes, wondering what might disappear out of it as I have another idea for a project!

that's a cute bag! I've been wanting to make a tote bag for a while, you've done a great job!

ReplyDeleteYou are learning so quickly.
It is looking great, Kim!
ReplyDeleteI often look around in thrift shops and when they have things on sale (like 3 summer shorts for 1 Euro in winter) I buy some that have good material. Just an idea.
Can't wait to see what you come up with neext. :)
Very nice, and I think it look professional!!
