Refashion 8: The Lionel Richie tote from Men's Shorts- front
My Maker Faire project: Reconstructed from a pair of men's cargo shorts, a screenprinter's overrun tee, and a little boy's short placket.
I really liked the utilitarian features of the shorts as a bag -- big pockets, rectangular shape, a d-ring already sewn on (see the back of the bag below). So I cut the shorts right down the middle, sewed on the applique from the Lionel Richie t-shirt, and sewed the missing seam (one front panel of the shorts to its adjoining back panel).
Someone had already taken some fabric from a yellow plaid boys shirt but the shirt placket was intact, so I cut it off to use as handles.
Et voila! Fully functional Lionel Richie tote bag. And I still have the other half of the shorts for another project. How about a Duran Duran bag?
The applique says, "How can I transform a lump of clay into a likeness of Lionel Richie from the 'Hello' video?"
