Joggers into a Shoe Bag

Louise had outgrown her dancing school joggers, but they seemed in too good condition to bin and we don't know another Louise to pass them on to, so.........

I made one of the legs into a shoe bag to hang up her gym shoes at school! I cut off one of the legs and sewed up the bottom part. Then inset some cord (from a battered gift bag) and sewed the edge, using Fly / Y stitch to be decorative. The flower is made from part of an old leotard, gathered with running stitch, sewn to the shoe bag with a sparkly button sewn in its centre. Fantastic fun, a practical item from an unusable one, made in less than an hour! Now to think of what to make with the rest of the joggers and leotard!!

A close up of the fly stitching and flower - my mam taught us well!!!!
