Bride transforms her wedding dress scraps into bags - for $200 - video Dailymotion

SWNS

A bride has transformed her wedding dress scraps into two bags - for $200 - so she could "re-wear it".  Morgan Hafeman, 26, was left with lots of waste material after having her $5,000 lace wedding dress altered.  Her seamstress, Andrea Richter, came up with the idea to make a purse out of the excess lace.  Morgan was able to take the bag on her honeymoon with her new husband Ryan Hafeman, 28, who works in IT.  After being left with even more scrap she decided to get a new bag made in December 2024 - opting for a clutch style.  Morgan is delighted with the new bag and can't wait to take it on her anniversary trip.

00:21and it is truly the perfect size for an anniversary dinner, a special occasion, or just anything.
