Bring Out The Bright!

Something that really helped me to jump full speed back into sewing, was to tell myself to save nothing for some other time or occasion. Later is Now. See it, love it, sew it, sell it. Life is terminal for us all, and there's no time like right now to just move forward. So, first of all, I attacked my substantial piles of samples. So far, I've gotten over seventy totes from that starting point, and I think my piles have shrunk. Last week someone mentioned "bright". I immediately thought of my coveted, beloved, and hoarded collection of vintage table cloths. Then I remembered about waiting for nothing, and cutting and sewing with total abandon. So, this lot of ten contains some of that work. It may be a little heavy on the pink, but don't let that discourage you if you're a closet pink hater. I have several billion boxes of other options in the garage. Just give me time. So, just to review. See a tote bag that you like? Then scroll to comments at the bottom of the post and leave me a comment that contains the amount of money you're willing to pay at or over ten dollars per bag (unless otherwise indicated). You can also send me an e-mail at re-joyce@live.ca to work out shipping and payment options. Shipping to most places is ten dollars. Ready? let's go. #1 (ahhh... I do love the graphics of these old cloths. There's just something about the colours that makes me think of another time.)

#2: sold to Shannon for $20-

This bag is fully lined, complete with pockets, and actually fully reversible. I'd like a minimum of $15- for this piece which employs two vintage table cloths, and a handkerchief.

#3: sold to Lori for $20-!

(fully lined and pocketed. minimum of $15- please)

oh dear. My personal favourite. *sigh*

:an old baby blanket, vintage embroidered pillow slip, and the purple floral piece is a vintage slipcover that I've been drooling over for years now.

*sigh* (this is the inside view. Lined, pocketed)

#4 the rest of the pink blanket. It has some pretty neat motifs on it.
