About this item
This little storage bag is perfect for cosmetics or for storing jewellery. I have made it from one of the corners of a vintage tablecloth which had seen better days. The front illustration is the classic victorian lady gardening in full crinoline and corset! and there is a charming homemade feel to this little embroidery.The back features a simple applique with unfinished frayed edges, and there are 3 decorative buttons on the front as well as a little flower head zip pull. I have added a finger hook so you can hang up this little bag as a piece of art work in its own right. This sweet period piece would make a lovely present for someone learning to embroider, anyone who loves vintage textiles, or as a wedding present. The embroidery has been backed onto cotton to strengthen it, but it is still a soft little bag. The back is made from the same linen, with a small raw edged applique in one corner. The lining is a vintage patterned cotton. The pink zip is 16 cm long, and has a flower head pull. It measures 16 cm by 16 cm square, and there is a finger hook to the RHS corner. It is finished off with my own embroidered label. Your bag can be washed on a short, cool cycle, and left to dry naturally. It will be wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard, and sent as RM 2nd class.

Smashing bag, I love the juxtaposition of ticking and vintage embroidery. Great for a project bag and it easily folds flat for packing when travelling. Recently used aa an unusual handbag on opera visit. Supremely well made. Highly recommended.
