Description

A sweet little zip up make up bag, made from vintage table linen. The front is embroidered with a spray of purple pansies from the corner of a vintage handstitched tablecloth, and the back has a tiny pansy flower. Altho it had seen better days, there were enough fragments to make into a set of sweet little bags. Perfect for make up or storage, they would make a lovely present for a bride to be, as a special birthday present for a friend, or as a Mothers day gift. The embroidery has been stitched onto cotton to strengthen it, but it is still a soft little bag. The front and back are made from two different sections of the same table linen, and there are 2 decorative buttons on the front. It measures 17cm by 14cm with a purple 17 cm zip and is lined in floral cotton. A finger hook means you can hang it up as a little piece of art work in its own right. Please use a short cool wash, and leave to dry naturally. Your bag will be posted out by RM 2nd class post, and wrapped in clean, recycled packaging.

A lovely person donated some beautiful old linens to me that she could no longer store. Although areas of this great old cloth were no longer possible to use, the corners were intact, and the right size for a set of pansy purses.
