Canvas + Leather

It's all about bag make-overs this week.

And let me tell you, I've been obsessing over

canvas bags with leather trim:

Aren't these fabulous?

Pretty yet utilitarian & fashionably laid back.

I found this blah bag at the top of my closet:

It's canvas with a cute print in the inside flap.

I bought it at Target some years ago

and very rarely used it.

Inspired by the above combinations,

here's how I made it TADA!:

I added a leather closure that I bought from the sewing

supplies shop {alternatively, you can re-use an old belt}.

Attach it to the bag by sewing.

I might change the strap to match the closure later on.

But now, the bag has a little bit of attitude,

ready to be used on a regular basis!
