I’ve decided that I probably spend 40% of my life rifling through my bag looking for my lip gloss, powder, or chapstick. That’s a lot of time, folks. :/ It’s time to get organized!
I began with this pretty lace skirt:
But this pretty skirt was hiding a pretty obvious secret…
So…I could just shorten the skirt and move right along with my life, but I decided to go a different route. 🙂
I turned the skirt inside-out and pinned a rectangle around the side zipper. Then, I cut it out!
I ran the edges through my machine, reinforcing the corners a bit as I went along.
I trimmed off that extra fabric, and now I have a lovely & lacy makeup case to keep all my beauty essentials in one easy-to-find location! 🙂
Cheers!
This would be really pretty dyed in teal! 🙂 Nice job!
This is a terrific idea – thanks Jillian! I will be making one of these this weekend. Keep inspiring us. You are wonderful!
I really like that just when you think its another item of clothing, you make something completely creative!
Not that I don’t love all the clothes and think they aren’t creative; I’m inspired by it all.
WHAT an awesome idea!!! Thank you for sharing this, very clever!
Very clever idea to re use the zip in this way! Love it 🙂
