But the fabric is so beautiful, what to do..
Yes, some cut,cut, snip,snip, measure, sew and...
Ta daaahhh, there it is! A bag which you take with you to work, groceries, fabric shopping, yarn shopping. Or you can carry your knitting-, crochet- or quilt projects with you. In other words you can use it for everything :-)

Mooi!!!!!!
I love the trim on tohe pocket inside..is that embroidery or a ribbon? I can't tell!
A great use of an old coat:o)
Lovely bag and a very good example for those who tend to easily to throw away instead of recycling !
Wow Lucy, that is brilliant and as Rachel said a very good example.
Cool!!! I have a old tweed jacket & cashmere, you have given me ideas :-)
Great idea to use again.

Отличная идея!!! Сумка получилась очень красивая!
I LOVE it! I really like it when favorite objects get repurposed, especially when such lovely fabric can be reused. Good job!
Take care,

Such an excellent transformation! And you have lots of fabric left...But this re-purposed coat/bag is just wonderful.
Awesome bag!
Prachtig gedaan!! Goed idee ook om zo een geweldige tas te maken!
Groetjes, Ria.

Love the lining contrasted with the gorgeous wool.
Awesome!!
Elegant, trendy and will blend in with almost everything we choose to wear.
Warmest regards,

I have a black cape with bright pink lining that I bought on Carnaby Street in London in 1969 that is one of the very few things I cannot bear to part with. You have given me a great idea for how to continue enjoying the fabric rather than letting the cape languish in the back of the closet.
Mooie tas heb je gemaakt en de binnenkant is ook zo leuk.
Groetjes
Congrats on the weight loss. Great bag!
oh it's lovely. i have a navy blue coat i bought in amsterdam ten years ago with which i CANNOT BEAR TO PART!the lining is worn but the fabric is still beautiful. i will even re-purpose the buttons and pockets onto a bag now i think!

Well done!! A new boost to an idea I had for my late father's woolen coat. Must find the courage to cut into it though .... Thanks! Hugs, Daniëlle
