GREAT finds!

This week I discovered a new consignment shop in Jackson. Of course, now I can't remember the name of it; I'll have to add it later. The items there are in great shape and the prices are pretty good. I found this cute skirt, that I just had to get to see what I could create with it. It looks brand new and is the perfect size for a nice large bag.

When I got home I started going through the stash - what did I have that I could use for the lining?

I was really excited to find the fabric below, right there in the crate containing the black fabrics. PERFECT! The skull even matches. Now I can't wait to get started on it; just as soon as I finish the pet bandanas, this is the next creation!

I haven't decided on the straps yet - possibly the same fabric as the lining, or maybe a solid black. I want to leave the pink ribbon belt in place, and I think I would have a hard time matching it. I am ready to get finished with the bandanas now, so I can get started on this bag. It's like that for me when I get something new that I am excited about. I have a hard time finishing what I'm working on in my excitement about the new creation. I'll post a photo soon of the finished product.
