Upcycled halter top

 I found this beautiful knit Peruvian Connection halter top for a steal at a resale shop.  This company is known for their amazingly beautiful knit garments.  Since wearing this size small garment was out of the question, I decided to upcycle it into a tote bag.  I was able to keep the entire garment intact by seaming the bottom and boxing the corners.  Then I made a bag lining of black denim and extended pieces at the front and back of the garment to back the upper parts of the halter, stitching the garment to these pieces.  I added some 1” black cotton webbing for handles.  The halter ties are a perfect compliment at the top of the handles.
