Remember that rather sad looking vintage natural fibre bag without a lining? She’s looking much happier and pretty enough for an outing now! She has a new elastic fastening, a double cotton lining with soft wadding in between and two useful pockets, one elasticated, one zipped, with a beaded zip-pull. And a pretty vintage rose appliqué to finish her off!

In my quest to live more sustainably I want to extend this to my creative activities. As you know, I use foot power on my old treadle machine rather than electricity and I already use small pieces of fabric from others’ larger projects, but to take things a stage further, rather than making completely new items, I’m now looking to revamp vintage natural fibre bags, that are in good condition, but just need a bit of tender loving care to make them purposeful once again. What do you think? Come back soon to see what happens to this one!
