Checked Bag With Little Manikins

Bag out of old checked skirt

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/checked-bag-with-little-manikins • Posted by Vymini

I found an old used skirt at a flea market nearby and loved the fabric. So I took it home and decided to turn it into a bag. I undid all the seams which took really long. I did this since I wanted do have as much fabric as possible.(Now I have something left, maybe for another project =) ) I choose a shiny cotton fabric for the lining. I used "Thermolam" for the filling. The belt strap is from another bag which needs no strap to carry (it has small handles). After finishing the bag, I wanted something in the colours of the bag for decoration, so I took two old t shirts and made a little boy and a little girl out of it. Comments are really welcome, since I am still a beginner and I would like to improve =)
