Bag

I've just read your comments on my boots, and I have a big smile on my face, you are all so supportive! :-)

I'm getting used to them, and walk confidently with them now. I'll try to have a picture this weekend, promised.

In the meantime, you remember my new coat? It deserved a bag, doesn'it?
On the other hand, I've spent all my money on the red boots, and still had not find THE bag I wanted.

The obvious anwer was "Go and create yours from your stash"!

Here it is, made from the leftovers of the coat, and a little bit of black left from another project.

The bag insert does fit in it. :-)

Handbag

It started with the Art Queen Pennant Purse by Cece Grimes, found in Altered Coutures issue Spring 2007. And discarded black pants.

One back pocket became the lining pocket, with some decoration:

I've used one back side of the pants as it, for the front of the bag. The bottom of one leg became the back of the back, that I kept simple.

The "feathers" are triangles cut in leftovers.
