A Lace Tote from a Curtain

I can't believe it's already Wednesday.

I have been busy making homes look pretty all week..

I love my job!!

This weekend I had a chance to get a little tote bag made

to carry my Bible study materials and maybe hold

a trinket or two on my next trip to Round Top!!

 It's coming girls and I am ready to load up and

head out!  Are you going??

Ok..now what was I sayin'?? Oh yeah the tote bag..

I started with a white curtain I had picked up at GW and made a 

easy stitch bag leaving the top open

I then sewed another using Osnaburg (you could use any fabric)

and inserted it inside.

Stitched the two together and turned inside out

I folded the white out and sewed to make a cuff.

I used the edge of the curtain to make the straps so they were

already sewn.

Be sure to measure on your arm so you know where to

put the straps and sew to bag

I found some pretty lace at the thrift store for $1.00 so I

added a little to make it more feminine..Don't you just love

lace and ruffles!

I must admit this sewing thing is getting fun!

I found a French label over at the Graphics Fairy and I

am thinking about adding it to the bag also.

Speaking of thrift store..I picked up a neat find last week and can't wait

 to tell you the story about it..

Hope your Wednesday is a happy one!
