SO, SEW

| The skirt! Another thrift store score! At only $2.00 I really couldn't pass this up, never mind that it was a size 4, and well.... I'm not. I figured I could do something with the fabric.  It had all these pleats at the waist, so, I just popped one out. I wore it this way a few times till inspiration hit. ~INSPITATION HITTING~ I took out all the pleats and was rewarded with a giant piece of fabric-ness for my crafting pleasure. The excess fabric on one side was cut away, and I shaped what was left into an a-line. On the one side I had the zipper, and the length was perfect, so all I had to do was sew up a seam and.... Vola cute skirt. 
Wait, I'm not done!
What did I make with the excess fabric-ness you ask?
Why, a bag of course!

The green stripe band at the top used to be curtains
and the lace I've had for awhile.
I wanted a lace pocket but the lace wasn't wide/long enough.
Drat
I cut two pieces of lace, laid one atop the other and staggered them
to get the length I wanted and sewed a pink ribbon
across to hold the two pieces together.
Next I pressed under ¼”
on either side of the pocket's raw edge
and then sewed it to the bag.
I gave the bag gussets on the bottom to provide some width/depth,
but didn't line it.
Maybe I should rethink and add a lining?
What do you think?
~BTW~
The photos were taken in two different parts of my house, so,
the fabric colors look totally different
between the skirt and bag.
I hope you' all have a lovely weekend,
we'll be at the Farmer's Market on Saturday, selling our wares.
Till next time,
Bonjour
