Something Old into Something New

Quite awhile ago a friend gave me an old denim skirt she no longer wanted. Immediately I knew it had to become something else. I've been practicing my sewing skills of late and am really getting into bag making. But there are only so many bags one can make for oneself.

Not long after I found a really lovely set of pillow cases in a op shop and new I had the lining for the bag.

So something old:

I really had a lot of fun making it. Sure I had to watch 3 online tutorials about inside pockets but I got there in the end and thankfully no swearing required.
