waiting to happen

This morning, I was overcome by the need to upcycle something; to create something new out of something old.
A pair of gray canvas pants were languishing unworn in the back of the closet.
Pant legs are a sewing project waiting to happen.
I always seem to need a tote bag. 
A perfect example of opportunity and need clasping hands.



I had a very lightweight fabric near the top of a box of fabric that seemed to be leaning forward and waiving its hand in the air.


I thought to make a simple rectangular tote but before I knew it, I was measuring and stitching darts.





Woohoo!!
A nice rugged bag in a soft neutral color.
The lining is kind of youthful I think and the strap adjustable.
