Repurposed skirt into personalised school PE bag

Embroidery detail

Embroidery detail

The embroidery turned out lovely and this bag looks much better than the skirt ever did. The letters are big and bold, just right for catching the attention of little readers. No name tags needed.

The straps were really easy to do and its great for having hands free by carrying as a back pack.

 

The bag is fully lined with cotton and fits an entire winter PE kit including trainers. I did think about adding waterproof lining so the contents would be kept dry in any weather the bag would be useful for swimming kit… but thats for another time when I don’t have a deadline…. (yeh when’s that gonna happen?). After a term’s use, the embroidery still looks pristine. A friend was so impressed she asked me to make a couple of bags for her daughters. 🙂
