When I saw this I wanted to try it immediately. But my boys are wearing all there overalls at the moment. But it would make a great bag to carry a diaper wipes and sippie cup for those short outings with your toddler.
Materials
Baby overalls
Scissors
Hot melt or craft glue
For this project you will need a pair of old children's overalls from a thrift store. The bigger the overalls the bigger you bag will be. We have used a cute little baby's overall suit for this little purse.
If your overalls has any pockets on the front it will make a great little mobile pocket on the outside of your bag.
Start by cutting the leg's off, making sure to cut above the crutch or you will end up with a tuft.
Turn the bag inside out creating a hem so you don't see the glue line, glue the bag closed. You could use hot glue or a strong fabric glue it really depends on just how much stuff you are planning to cram into this bag.
If you have a sewing machine then it would be more durable to use a sewing machine and sew across the bottom to close it up. Make sure you do 2 zig zag stitches on a sewing machine to strengthen it.
I found this craft at Craftbits.com Love this site. You need to check it out!

How cute!
That is a very neat idea! I'm going to have to dig around and see if I have any kid overalls we don't need that I could turn into a bag. Thanks for sharing!
Aw, I love it!
adorable, can't wait to try it out!
That is very cute indeed, but if I used someone's old overalls it would be the size of a sack now.
I'm going to nip over and check that website now as it looks like it might be just the ticket.
Cheers
That is just too darn cute!
What a cute idea!
That is a very neat idea. I need to make one of those out of some old overalls because each time we leave for church I realize that I don't have a bag for my son's diapers! My daughter gets to use her little pink one, but my son has to use a Wal-mart bag! The horror! I must be the talk of the church!
Cute idea! I also love the photos of your horse farm...
You are so talented! I'm so NOT a crafty mama!
Adorable. Do you think my 2 year old son would mind carrying a purse around? :)
How cute and clever.
