Hello everyone
It's so nice to be here today and I hope you are all doing great, it's a beautiful Saturday and I wish you all a happy weekend from this end, it is my pleasure today to share with you how I converted a small purse I made for my sister's hand bag to a cross body bag for my niece.
Few days ago, I made a purse from the left over fabric I hade after making a cute hand bag for my sister as a gift funny enough when the purse was delivered to my sister as a surprise from her left over piece, my little niece wasn't happy with it as I have previously made a matching bag for her mom and her big sister, so I think this this she was expecting to have has as a matching bag with her mom's bag as well but that never came to my mind as the pieces were not enough, when she was asked what was wrong, she openly told us she was expecting me to make a bag for her not a purse for her mom.
Though the making of the purse was just a simple step by step process of sewing two pieces together with zipper and lining.
All I did was to bring the purse back home and cut out a long piece to make a handle for the purse and convert it to a cross body bag. I folded the piece to the middle and in two and it was sewn on both sides.
To do this, I had to cut out a long piece of 38 x 4" from a black fabric since I have exhausted the main fabric I used for the bag.
On both sides of the main purse, I measured 1.5" downward on which I sew the handle, finally, this is the beautiful outcome.
This was how I was able to convert a purse to a bag for my little niece and now she is so glad to have a matching cross body bag with her mom's hand bag.
I'm so happy to eventually put a smile on her face, you know how children can be so funny when they need something and finally gets it😋
Wow 🤩, this is a very creative way to give a piece a second chance 💜 and I like the color to, its brings good energy 🥰
Thanks for sharing 🙌🏽✨
