Description

This pretty vintage embroidered cloth was just right to upcycle into a little bucket bag. It has a spray of embroidered flowers on the front, and a little sweep of vintage flowers across the back, decorated with 3 vintage buttons. Its two handles are long enough to fit snuggly around your hands, and although it is dinky, it is just large enough to hold your essentials at a wedding or garden party. This small hand bag has a decorative button and loop fastening, as well as a magnetic snap on the inside facing, and is like having an additional pocket, but with its own handles! Unashamedly nostalgic, it would make a lovely present for a vintage fabric lover, or as an accessory for a Spring time or vintage wedding. The linen has been stitched onto canvas to strengthen it, but it is still a soft little bag. It has a pair of handles, each 32 cm long. It measures approx 24 cm by 24 cm with boxed in ends to make it a little more roomy. It is lined with a vintage inspired roses fabric, and is finished off inside with an embroidered facing for a neat finish. It fastens with a magnetic clasp, as well as with a covered button and loop closure, and is finished off with my own embroidered name tag. Please hand wash or use a short delicate machine wash, and leave to dry naturally. I like to reuse. Your bag will be posted out in clean, recycled wrapping and posted out as Royal Mail 2nd class.

This vintage table cloth was an amazing charity shop find. Even though it had seen better days, there was enough fabric intact to make this pretty little spring time bucket bag.
