i don't like to wear skirts. but somehow i had one old jeans skirt in my wardrobe. old but looks new because i've never worn it ^^; i thought it would be such a waste to leave it untouched so i decided to turn it into a bag so that i could 'wear' it lol. i needed a feminine-looking bag anyway, and never found one that meets my taste at stores. this was my first time making a bag out of an old skirt, luckily i liked how it turned out. the ribbons which i saved from a wedding invitation make the bag looks pretty xD i like bags with a lot of pocket so this bag really meets my taste and needs. the bag has 5 pockets in total, one of them is inside the zipper. i sewn the pocket myself since i don't like to leave it nonfunctional. it can be opened so why not make a pocket inside it lol.
