Handmade Monday
Scraping in once again. Needed a serviceable bag for a couple of trips and this is what I came up with having rummaged in my stash for stuff that I won't need for a project. This corded velvet has to be 20/30 years old, if not more. I am sure I had it to make a pair of trousers for someone but goodness knows who. I can't imagine a child of today wearing it can you? lol. I think the purple was curtains at some point in history. Just call me tight, I don't mind.

I can remember wearing corded velvet trousers about 20 years ago but can't imagine anyone wearing any nowadays. It's obviously been kept well and is now finally being put to good use. x
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great bit of recycling! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great that you can rustle up a bag when you need one! (Not tight at all - resourceful!) Mich x
ReplyDeleteA brilliant way to recycle and fabric never eats or drinks so can be squirrelled away for years
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely - I am os impressed that 'just like that' you can make this. Gorgeous colour combination.
ReplyDeleteYour last post made me giggle. I think you have got very fidgety fingers at the moment, you seem to be producing left, right and centre. The bag is great, I love the shape and the fact that you've used up your fabric - so vintage! Thanks for the offer re: the feed cover, that's so sweet of you, mine's holding up at the moment but I'm holding out for a new machine!!!
ReplyDeleteFab bit of recyclimg and you can genuinely call it vintage :)
ReplyDeleteMight need to rumage my mum's wardrobe to see what she's got stashed away!
That is one funky design. Lovin' the green velvet. Never would have thought of making bags with velvet.
ReplyDeleteWow, well done, I love recycling things and this is just beautiful, who would know it was something made from other things?! Love it.
ReplyDeleteSuper bag and gorgeous colour.

P.S. bought a pair of cords to wear this week-end!
Love the unusual design of your bag. Glad to know I'm not the only one that stashes fabric away for such a long time.! Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!The zip detail on the side is great.
ReplyDeleteI'd guess +30 as I'm sure I had a pair just like that when I was a nipper! The original trousers that is, not the bag!!
