Welsh blanket bag.
I have promised myself to reduce my stash of fabrics and not buy any new until I've used what I have. This is not easy! I have avoided all the shops that I know will tempt me..... It's hard just walking past. Today I had a mission --- use some up!!! I caught sight of a piece of vintage Welsh blanket as I retrieved a bag of chocolate buttons hidden in the piano stool.( don't ask). It's in beautiful 1930's colours' then I remembered a couple of linen tablecloths maybe the same date and in similar colours. The blanket was big enough to make three handbags, this is the first, it has a long handle to go over your shoulder. There is also a pretty linen purse. Both are decorated with hand dyed lace. They would be great for anyone who loves a vintage look. I'm putting them in my Etsy shop, so pop over for a closer look. xox Angela.
