    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.

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful bag! I have a couple of questions, I crochet and have made doilies like those--since it is made of thread How do you prevent it from unravelling because it will and then there goes the whole crocheted design! Do you find when you do the corners, after items are placed inside the bag, the corners loosen after using the bag? Thank you for responding!
