For my reconstruction project, I reconstructed a used teddy bear from Goodwill into a water-bottle bag.
- How functional is your new object?
The bag is able to carry a water bottle (albeit a miniature version) and possibly other small objects.
- How well is it constructed? Will it last beyond the class presentation
The bag itself is very sturdy; none of the stitching feels loose and the strap is able to support the weight of a water bottle without breaking.
- How completely did you re-use all of the pieces?
I sewed the fabric from the arms/legs/body into the body and bottom portion of the bag. I also repurposed an Urban Outfitters reusable tote into an extended strap, and cover for the lining. The lining of the bag is stuffed with cotton from the original teddy bear.
