Refashioned Bags, shows you how to create carryalls, clutches, laptop bags, totes, all with helpful diagrams and step-by-step instructions. For the longtime DIYer or for the first time crafter, bags are one of the easiest accessories to make and require little more than a needle, thread, and everyday items you can find in the closet, garage, attic, or flea market. That's why the sister authors of 99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Trim & Tie Your T-Shirt into Something Special show you how to make boutique-ready bags on the cheap. In their new book, the Blakeney sisters twist and weave, turn inside-out, and reappropriate just about anything and everything to fashion radical accessories with eco style and and an ecological message.
