Skirt plus Half an Hour equals Bag

Couldn't resist such pretty material so I bought a Primark skirt which was too big from a charity shop.  I was going to use it for scraps but a bag just jumped out at me.
Half an hour later I'd cut off the bottom to create straps, stitched up fabric and lining and added buttons, nothing more.  Et voila!
This is a disastrous photo I tried to take to show what it looked like in situ.  Doh!
Grandbaby C No. 2's cardi is now complete.  It's a much prettier green really.
... and finally...
Can you believe Aldi has retro style?  I couldn't resist this lovely vintage-y set of kitchen accessories!

  4. Love the skirt bag! It's such a fab wide shape. I always carry so much crap round with me that I just can't like the thought of small bags.
