Vera Bradley Makeup Bag Upcycle

At a previous sale, I found this pretty Vera Bradley makeup bag for only $1! I would’ve liked it to be a crossbody, so I decided to rework it and make it into one

This is what the back of it looked like

You can see I took it apart here with a seam ripper

I sewed it back together and I love the finished product!! I took the extra fabric from the inside and made a strap out of it! 

I left the back pocket on as well.

I took the already existing zipper and sewed it onto the top

I love the finished product and I can’t wait to work on my next bag!
