Butterfly & Retro Floral Totes


I love this floral fabric, I'm not sure how old it is. And the other print - vintage barkcloth in a neat little pattern. And the pale celery brocade - saved from the dumpster from an upholstery shop going out of business. Thrifty business! Handmade pledge! I took a break from sewing and am so refreshed! And used the elegant script on the selvage as part of the design. My friends laugh, but I love the edge and reverse of fabrics - often more interesting than the original! These pretties will make their way to ebay soon. Or if you're interested, by all means email me!

Great tote bags! I love the butterflies.
And I agree, the selvages can be very pretty and interesting, especially the vintage ones.

Oh, and that elegant peach and green bag in the previous post is STUNNING! Red carpet worthy, indeed.
Sorry to see you were in a car accident, I hope you're alright.
