A simple tote bag made from a thrifted quilt and lined with second-hand vintage fabric. The only new items used to create this bag are the thread and cotton tag. Handmade by me, Katie, in my sewing studio in Sutherland Shire, NSW, so no two bags are exactly alike.

Outside

• The exterior is made from a white polyester quilt thrifted from Rockdale Salvo's. It has a cute 'cottage-style' pattern on it with pink roses, green leaves and blocks of lines of different thicknesses in blue, green and pink.
• Boxed base to provide depth, but it is still more 'floppy' than structured.

Inside:

• The lining of the bag is a Vintage cotton fabric from Achieve Australia's 'My Sewing Basket'
• It is an off-white base with a very dainty floral pattern on it.

Straps & Details:

• The bag has two thick straps made with the outer quilt fabric on the top, and the lining cotton on the underside.

Materials & Upcycling

• 100% of the fabric materials in this bag have all been repurposed.
• All pre-loved textiles used in this bag are washed before being sewn.
• New materials are limited to the thread and label.

Please Note- Every item is individually handmade by me. While I take great care to ensure consistency, slight variations in dimensions, pattern placement and finish are a natural part of the handmade process. These individual characteristics are what make each piece unique.

Care- Gentle machine or hand wash as required. Line dry in the shade. Wool iron only as the outer is full polyester and may melt on a higher setting.

Postage- Sent via tracked parcel post with Australia Post.
