This first bag was a skirt for my daughter that was to short, so I turned it into a tote bag.
The bag below is a reversible Spring Tote Bag with various views. I purchased a yard of the pink fabric for $1.00 and the white was from a disassembled bed skirt. Very thrifty if I must say so myself. Both of these are a work in progress. The Spring tote was started last night.
Fatiah I have been purposely searching the interent for ways to reuse all items. I try and see if someone else can use it if I can’t. I guess it’s just my way of cutting down on waste.
Thank you for stopping by.

That is crafty of you to make a tote bag out of the skirt. I have always been quick in throwing things iso recycling them. One of the bloggers made t-shirts quilt from unused t-shirts and someone made a quilt out of the husband’s old shirt. Now I will stop and think before throwing or giving them away. Glad I get to know you people.

Wow! Hadias, you are amazing with all the things you’ve been sewing lately! I know for a fact I was sticking to pillows, curtains & the like for a while before I attempted anything like a lined tote bag. I’m very impressed…keep up the great work.
