  • Great bag for beginner sewists. In this unique DIY video, we will be creating a crossbody tote bag from an old thrifted beach towel. You don't have to use a towel though, you can use a blanket, pretty fabrics, thrifted curtain, denim or whatever your heart desires. The sewing is simple...no closures, no lining and no pockets to deal with. We will be decorating the tote with a pretty fabric bird applique and beautiful vintage floral lace. You decorate yours however you want, let your imagination be your guide, but most of all have fun!

    Traci, I remember that towel pattern from the 70's. I even have old dishes with a similar pattern. It's an inspiration to see how you remake these vintage and otherwise discarded items into a new and useful Bag or Clothes. I am looking at old vintage things and wondering how to remake them as you do. It takes me a lot longer to make a new Bag or Blouse, Vest or Kimono Coat out of old fabrics - since they have to be washed and cut apart & ironed to begin with. But there is a satisfaction about doing all of that. Saving just a tiny bit of the beautiful old fabrics and handmade things from being lost to a landfill is worth the effort. It's about loving and appreciating the old, vintage stuff.

    I love those crocheted doilies. Someone spent a long time making them since all crochet is done by hand, it's good that they are finding a new life as decorative elements. If you think about the skill and time spent making them, it's amazing how cheap they are now.

    We can't go shopping in most stores around here, with a Tote Bag that large anymore. Plus, two different people tried to snatch my purse, on two different occasions, at our local Walmart. A small cross-body bag, that can be hidden under my clothes) is the best choice for shopping around here. I do most of my shopping in small stores in another county now. It is safer. Both of your bags are beautiful.
