Rethink, Revisit, Rehash.
I did my usual troll through op-shops [what we call thrift stores], and amongst the late 90's high waisted jeans, target shirts and "I'm with stupid" t-shirts, I found a pair of what I can only describe as fashion-fail, leather pants. You all know the type, because you've all seen them and only imagined the type of person who would have dared to step [well, squeek] out in them.
To my shock and well to be honest a little giggle, they were $2. Two bucks for enough leather to try my hand at sewing with. Enough that may even result in something good to place in my Etsy store...but that is still to be seen to be believed. I have done some wandering through some beautiful Etsy shops and found inspiration for a style of bag that might make best use of the leather I have in front of me. 
It's thin [ish] and it looks gorgeous when it's pleated. The wonder in this design, from what I can see, is that the bag still holds a really pretty shape, with little to nothing in it and looks wonderfully plump, tulip-like with enough in it. Experimentation ahead. I'll be sure to post any progress I have.
