Juliette from The Netherlands has submitted this fabulous bag made mostly from reclaimed materials:<\/p>\n

“A couple of months ago, I picked up a faux suede jacket from a charity shop, along with a satin blouse, total cost \u20ac3.50. My intention was to use them for a bag, but at the time I had no idea of the style I would make. When I found this pattern, I knew they would be perfect. The only other thing I bought was the magnetic snap fasteners. Everything else has come from my stash of stuff hoarded in my girl-cave. The bias tape for the piping was made using the excellent tutorial<\/a> on So Sew Easy, and the left over tape was used to make the scrappy flowers. Having made the bag, I realised I had enough left to make a coin purse to match. A couple of hours later, and some false starts, hey presto, here they are.”<\/em><\/p>\n
