Spring Tote


Even though I have yet to see a green blade of grass growing in my back yard, I have been bitten by the Spring Bug. The weather this week should have the country side greening up with temperatures staying above 60 and sunny. I got so excited about the weather Sunday night, I decide to utilize some of my thrift finds to create a springy tote. With warmer weather comes outdoor flea markets!


I repurposed a $1 thrifted bed sheet. Used some interfacing from a thrifted jacket I recently tore apart (I am learning how to sew clothes, so I wanted to see how it was put together.) And then made the delicate buds from a ladies hankie found in a drawer of the hutch I just purchased at Salvation Army. *I realize those are all fragmented sentences. It just looks better typed up this way*


The sheet must of been well loved. It is so soft.

    That's quite gorgeous, and quite timely (http://www.nps.gov/nama/planyourvisit/national-cherry-blossom-page.htm). I like the little fallen-flower detail a lot.

    Beautiful tote! So pretty, I just love it! I've been SUPER addicted to using thrift-store sheets for fabric these days! No matter how many I find, it's never enough! And the yardage you get for your money?! It's insane!!! It makes it even HARDER for me to splurge on real fabric....I see $8.95 a yard and I just can't do it! (I'm the cheapest gal alive......sigh)

    I need to start thinking in the sheet direction for more fabric alternatives because the tote you made is just too adorable! Love how you embellished it :)

    Great job!
