I occasionally find myself on a "refashioning" site or blog and then get lost for hours checking out all the links and projects. I would really like to find the time to do more of this kind of thing. I thought this idea looked especially easy and turned out GREAT! (These are wonderful projects to make with thrift store finds) Here, she took an A-line skirt, with some lovely embroidery and turned it into a tote bag. Isn't that lovely? See the how-to HERE. It actually looks surprisingly easy.
