Just wanted to share a random Project Restyle I made recently. In case you don't know, Project Restyle
is a series where we use an old or damaged item and repurpose or
restore it into something we love. For many of the DIYs you find on this
site, our goal is to share projects that you can easily recreate, so
most of the supplies are fairly common or we share where you can get
them. Project Restyle is a little different. Our goal is not necessarily
to show something that you could easily recreate but rather to
encourage the creative online community (which we are proud to be a part
of!) to recycle, reuse, and restore when possible.
And we just like sharing stuff we're making with you. I bet you've probably noticed that by now. :)
Recently
I repurposed this mini table runner, or oversized placemat (I'm not
sure which it was!) into a purse. I had bought this placemat years ago
at a thrift store. I just liked the pattern and muted tones and for a
while I used it as a kind of throw under our record player. But then I
moved the record player and it didn't make as much sense, so it got
stored in the closet. I pulled it out recently and decided I still loved
it, so I thought I'd try to repurpose it into something new.
I
used scrap leather, embroidery thread and my sewing machine to add two
hand-stitched sides and two straps to the purse. I already had some of
the supplies, but generally it cost about $12 for me to make this
project (in case you're curious).
I
had never made leather straps like this before, but I've been trying to
use my sewing machine at least 2-3 times a month on projects as I'm
working to get more confident using it. So I went for it! I don't think
they look like a professional handbag maker sewed them, but I like how
they turned out. And, since it's my purse, I feel good about that. :)
Once
I added the sides, strap and a homemade leather tassel for the front, I
thought I was done. But, I wasn't in love with how slouchy the bag was.
It looked cute while I carried it, but once I set it down, it didn't
hold any kind of shape. I like slouchy bags, but in this case it just
didn't look right. So I covered some foam core board with the same black
leather and stitched that inside. Then I added a magnetic closure and
the purse immediately felt more finished!
Thanks for letting me share
