I thought maybe I could create something out of what I have in the house. These are what I used:
  1. A good sized black shopping bag I received free from a magazine about 5 years ago (I took off all the sequins on the bag to keep for future craft use)
  2. A small black M)phosis (a clothing label in Asia) shopping bag
  3. 1 of the 2 non-woven black shoe bags that came with a pair of shoes I bought in Singapore
  4. A truly ugly-looking foil coated complimentary shopping bag from Visa
  5. A few black zippers taken out from old clothes, been lying in my sewing box for month, or years
Here is what I did:
Folded and sewed the M)phosis shopping bag onto the outside of the large bag, to make a zipped-up pocket.


Sewed 2 other zippers onto the 2 shoe bags, then sewed them onto the inside of the large bag, on the back of the outer pocket (A).

Upcycled Pendant from Old Nine West Shoe Jewellery

We're moving all contents to: upcycleliving.blogspot.com Took less than 5 minutes, this is probably the fastest project to date. No one would've guessed its past life if I don't tell.

Loved them, worn them to death - literally.  But I'm not quite ready to part with them completely yet, and the decorative jewels still look good. So before I binned the shoes, I removed the shoe jewellery from both shoes and turned them into pendants. Yes I now have 2 Nine West - so to say - pendants, and why not?

Upcycled Padded iPad Case from an Old Cancer Research Canvas Bag

Since making the  Passport Boarding Pass Holder  from the old Cancer Research bag, my sore fingers have had some good rest so it's time to do something with the remaining material. Using the same method as the  Passport Boarding Pass Holder , I made an iPad case: I've used an old worn out vest (the size was just nice) as the lining,  so that the case will have some kind of padding as extra protection for the iPad. Securing the padding (old vest) with rough running stitch on both ends.   After doing proper back stitching on both ends, fold into half and stitch on both sides. Turn inside out. Unused hair rubber bands stitched under buttons to make loops, then stitch 2 buttons on the other side. In our memory, but now serving even better purposes: The Cancer Research canvas bag before the make over
