...from a while ago! I begin this shopping bag and it got laid aside. I used an old tablecloth that had some issues. So I did not mind using what I could from it for a new purpose.
Anyway here is is. I do think maybe the handles could have been a bit longer but I am happy with it. Nice size bag..18" tall by 16" wide at top, down to 12" and the bottom is 6"...will add maybe a plastic canvas bottom inside. Is lined with a new fabric to support the vintage fabric. Thought I could do a TUT for it but not sure how to make sense of the pics I managed to get!! Some were blurry.. did not look that way till I loaded them up..ugh!!
I have my own way of doing 'things' and can be hard to explain... ha!!
Like the pot holders, if there is a step I am not 'fond of' will find an easier way, at least to me!
I do have some 'retro' sheets that I want to make more of these bags from so will try very hard to set up tripod and get 'my very easy (lazy) way' recorded with pics!
I am off tomorrow to BFF Deb's for a sewing day.
She wants to make some of the oven dress towels.
These have been around for a long while now.
Simple and fun you can really have fun doing them up!!
Nice bag and what a good idea to recycle that tablecloth. I think I have some I no longer use...and they are taking up space in a drawer. Might have to give this some thought!
ReplyDeleteGreat recycling idea for some lovely fabric. I like handles to fit comfortably over my shoulder. The *dress* towel is whimsicial! Have a fun day.

ReplyDeleteCool bag. I love the way you used the fabric. Hope you can do a tutorial sometime. It is always helpful, at least for folks like me that does better with visuals.
