The past two weeks have been spent in my Dream studio designing new bag creations. Some of the dresses I started out with were very out of date. It is so much fun to give these items a new purpose so they can be enjoyed once again. Take a look and enjoy!

Introducing Olivia! Olivia was made from a dress, a colorful curtain panel, a scarf, and a great macrame' belt. She has an outside bonus pocket.
Great for a 13" computer or as a purse. It is a very "sophisticated 70's" look.

Introducing Saralyn! She is made from the same cloth and has a western personality.
Amazing what a belt vs. a scarf can do in the dressing process.

When I found this treasure..I immediately visualized 4 bags...only 3 were created due to a mistake in production. This dress had great design both front and back. She is made from this pictured dress and two other dresses to complete the project's back side and lining. They all three have pop as the lining is red. I used leather belts for Tamara and Tyra's shoulder straps and a self made handle for Taylor. All three totes are padded and safe for computers or can be used as a purse as well. I love the tribal feel of all three.

Back by Popular Demand! Emma was such a hit and I have had so many requests for this style. This dress and skirt created a unique bag with a lot of class. Her name is Mariah. Mariah is great for the woman who loves a small bag but wants a big bag option without purchasing another bag. I love how Mariah looks different depending on how she is carried.

My daughter and I were out shopping for "treasures" last weekend and came upon these two tweed skirts. Tweed is a very fashion forward trend for this fall. These bags will be the perfect accessory for any winter outfit. Simple, Classic, and Clean!

I love green. The color gives me such a peaceful warm fuzzy feeling. This dress along with the two earth tone dresses make up these two beautiful bags. Faith and Serenity both have a square bottom giving them the ability to stand on their own. The belts give them unique personality. Serenity has an outside back bonus zippered pocket. Faith and Serenity make a great tote for shopping!

I purchased this ugly dress for its beautiful brushed gold buttons. The skirt was pleated allowing me to give two of these clutches a touch of the ever so on trend tuxedo look. The buttons came from the button find I shared on a previous blog post. I love rooting through these treasures to dress them up a bit. Amazing what a button can do to change their personality.
