A simple bag thats huuuuuuuuuuge!
Basically all I did was sew tgether ties. I got my ties from my dads wardrobe and charity shops.
I cut the ties I used so that the wider bottom parts were just over a third as long as the other bits(which are thinner) - the shorter and wider pieces for the front and the longer thijnner pieces for the back and flapthe back and flap. i then stitched the ties together in a row to make the front, and did the same using the longer pieces for the back. I used more bits of tie for the back beacuse it was not as wide as the front. I also stitched a full sized tie to one side of the back (this is to make the strap). I Also sort of hemmed the front side to make a neat edge. Then I joined the two sides together and measured the length I wanted the strap to be on myself. I then stitched the wider bit of the tie to the front of the bag in the right place.

You can kind of tell from my bad pictures the way that I constructed the bag. If you want any other tips to create the bag then just leave me a comment.

I made a skirt with ties, from charity shops if you buy loads they end up knocking the price down for you. But you must not be affraid to askHappy the skirts with ties look fab and are inexpensive and worth makingHappy

I had ties from my dads wardrobe .. so they were free. the ones I bought cost 50p each .. so it worked out to be about £3.50 on ties. I think this is one of my more expensive projects hahaha.

This is so cool! It reminds me of this AMAZING skirt that my friend bought for waaaaay too much moolah - it was also made of ties.
How much did you spend on ties in the thrift shops?? I'm worried that one could end up paying a small fortune to get enough ties for a skirt...
