About this item
This pretty make up bag or purse is upcycled from vintage embroidery, once a thread bare 1940s tablecloth. Each corner has been stitched to make four pretty bags, edged with a shell motif, in an art deco style. The purse measures 17 cm by 17 cm. It is backed onto cotton to strengthen it, but it is still a soft little bag. There is a 16 cm purple zip with a flower head pull, and it is lined in a dark purple and gold Indian print. The front embroidery is a shell shape full of flowers, and on the back is a little trail of blooms. It is finished off with my own embroidered name tag. The pattern placement varies from bag to bag a little. Please wash on a cool short cycle, and leave to dry naturally. Your order will be posted out using clean, recycled packaging, and sent as RM 2nd class. Made in York by petrabradleyprints

This lovely table cloth was from the York car boot sale, and had been stitched by the stall holders Grandmother when she was a young girl. However, it needed some care and attention. I made a promise to her that I would turn it into something pretty and useful once again.

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.
