Denim Crossbody Bag

Miwa sent me some of her old clothes to work with. Let’s use this denim skirt!!! Still in great condition!!!

Design the bag with a front pocket, and for the back, why don’t we just use the existing back pocket!

Taking apart the skirt takes a while but you learn a lot about the construction of garment from this process.

Design might change after you try getting those pieces together…

Just re-attaching the top part.

The front zipper of the skirt can be re-applied to the bottom of the top piece as it’s zipper closure.

Pocket is now attached, and then the belt and the buckle, done.

Voila!!! Please contact me if you would like to know more details about this bag, but as I am not a good design-oriented person, I like to make it up as I go. And every garment has it’s own unique features, so let’s try to preserve some of them!
