As a peace offering after so many months AWOL, I give you, dear trashies, two recon projects:
From these, two too-short, too-wide, second-(or third?)hand sweaters and a salvaged metal tooth zipper,
And a barter for a good friend - I turned this thrifted, much-loved but stained and worn, trench coat, and an old skirt (not shown),
The bag is fully lined with fabric taken from a second hand skirt, with a zippered inner pocket that used the zipper from the same skirt.
toodaloo!
