Today's bag is a selfish sew. I made a new tote bag for my upcoming trip abroad.✈️I used an old coat that I've been hanging onto...so I guess it can go in the category of upcycling as well. This bag fits nicely under the airplane seat and has a zipper closure and internal zip pocket as well as the functional outer zipper pocket. I have another on my work table out of waxed canvas that I will be offering for sale in the next few days if you like this style.

I didn't have a bag post last week because I was out of town. I am sharing this adorable photo of my granddaughter instead!!👼🩷 She is wearing the jumper that I sewed for her!! Such a joy in our lives!

Upcycling uses original fabric or garments to create unique redesigned pieces...while reducing textile waste and promoting sustainable fashion. I have started dabbling in this trending movement.🙉 It is really fun to create and repurpose unwanted items into something fresh and new. I know this is not for everyone...but with the high costs of materials these days it allows me to continue my craft.

This cute casual bag is fashioned from a pair of jeans and a mixed media of new canvas and vegan leather (back of bag).What I really like about this slim bag is the way it molds to your body. Let me know what you think and as always thank you for looking.

Dimensions: Approximately 14"w x 10.5"h
Price: $65.00 + tax
