Of course you purchase it, because there is only one left and you get it really cheap as the hanging hardware thingies are long gone. You carry it home and look at it.
You remove everything non-fabric, cut it apart, add a little cotton fabric as the material is too stiff to be drawn together, and voila
you have an awesome drawstring gym bag that will make a little boy the envy of his soccer mates. I can't wait to see him opening this on Christmas Eve.
I have more curtain material left, so there might be a couple of best mate gym bags in my future - or maybe something totally different. We’ll see, but I’m sure I’ll have fun figuring it out.
Thanks for stopping by!
Perfect gift from the best Grandma! Love all the hearts. Sewing with daughters is sooooo much fun. Looking forward to the tutorial on the hoot bag. Would love to see the faces of all the recipients. Man it is cold here. Wish I didn't have to work so much.....it is perfect weather to hibernate in my sewing room and enjoy myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat re-purpose of something that I could not have imagined. xox
ReplyDeleteJust a very cute idea, and perfect for a gym bag.... !!!
ReplyDeleteThose grandchildren.... I'm sewing a football quilt, and had to order some football fabric from US, to get the right image, :-)
What a kismet that you should find the curtain in the first place!
