Replacing the strap of a small tote bag
Before
The strap of my client's tote bag was worn and frayed enough that it was time to replace it.

After
The bag had a black lining and black was one of the colors in the pattern of the main fabric, so my client was happy to have the replacement strap be the black from my dress. I added some interfacing (not pictured) so that the strap had the required heft and stiffness to work as a handle.
