"First" Project




 
  

This is my first project that's made it up here... a simple but sleek laptop bag made from a men's dress shirt and women's dress pants.  I made this for my friend, Jenna, who needed something simple but protective to tote her laptop while traveling.  The bag has a foam padding inside and button enclosures to keep her computer safe.  This style of bag can be duplicated very closely or very differently depending on your style.

Hey!

Welcome to my new space to post the things I create.  I decided to label this space Salvaged because most of the material used in my projects are salvaged from things unwanted in their original form.  Thrift stores, garage sales, free bins, attics, and storage spaces are the best places to find my materials.  I let the material inspire me to help design it's new purpose.  I enjoy re-creating pieces to develop a well-made feel, comfy and relaxed while still feeling a bit luxurious.  All of the items posted on this blog are available for sale in my etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/people/salvagedapparel?ref=si_pr  please check back soon for new pieces!
