Hello there Hivers! How are you all today? We have unpredictable weather nowadays. It's hot in the morning and it rains in the afternoon. As of writing, it's beginning to grow dark and rolling thunder is going on so I better stay put and do my DIY for this segment!
From an old overall to trendy Tote bag
You know guys, believe it or not, I have been keeping this old overall for decades and I still kept it in my "treasury box". I have departed more than half of my remnants when we relocated yet this one remains.
It's because the fiber is thick and durable and I like the pockets. The sling will automatically be used as the handle, right?
All you need to do is fold the overall from the center.
Draw a line for the base or bottom part.
Then close it.
You need to make another angle at the end corner for the base.
There it is! But that's not yet finished guys, I still need to make a lining to make it look neat inside and authentic.
The Lining
The lining will prevent the bag from tearing easily and it looks more presentable.
I dug on my scraps again and looked for a thin cloth for the lining because the denim looked heavy already.
The patching. I need to sew it in double to make it durable because it might get easily get torn when you put more stuffs in there since it's a big one.
We girls always carry along our "little beauty secrets" when we go to school, to the office or go malling so I don't forget to make a pocket for these items when I make bags to make the inside look orderly and organised.
The finishing touches.:)
That's now my finished product. From decades of hoarding, it's now out in the open at last!
Thank you dropping by my page. This is my entry for today and I hope you like it and make your own tote bag too. Thank you @JustineParke and family for keeping this awesome community active.
