a bag full of memories - een tas met herinneringen - en taske med minder

I made this bag out of a children's dress, which I made 7 years ago, and which both my daughters have worn. I moved the straps, cut the bottom and wrinkled it - after that I sew it together in the bottom. Most of the architecture of the dress is intact - the bib is now the flap. So the front of the bag was actually the back of the dress. The hardest (but still easy) part was sewing in the lining - I made a roug pattern by drawing the outline of the skirt after it had been wrinkled and sewn. I sew it in making sure to sew on top of the original sewing. Last step: I attached an (invisible) snap and moved a button to the middle of the flap. Only new materials for this were the snap, fabric (from an old pillowcase) for the lining, and sewing thread.

My girls enjoy seeing me run around with their old dress.

I'm entering this in the whiplash july competition in the category 'Fancy'. Mainly because it doesn't fit in the category 'skill' or 'tutorial' (how could you write up a clear tutorial for this? It depends on the dress!).




dit is geen breisel maar ik post het toch... Deze tas heb ik gemaakt van een kinderjurkje, 7 jaar geleden zelfgemaakt, die mijn beide dochters gedragen hebben. Zeg er iets leuks over, niemand anders heeft dat nog gedaan!


Dette er ikke strikket men jeg poster det alligevel.. Denne taske er lavet af en børnekjole, som jeg lavede for 7 år siden, og som begge mine døtre har brugt. Sig noget positivt om det, ingen andre har gjort det endnu!

and a flower:
en een bloem
og en blomst
