vintage tea towel bag

I've had a few vintage tea towels floating around for a while. One in particular has been tagged for my sister, so I thought I would use Curly Pop's tutorial and make a bag out of it for her birthday.

 

Cam's instructions are super clear, and the whole project took about an hour. The only thing I altered was the length of the straps (from 50cm to 65cm) so it was easy to carry over one shoulder.

 

 

Thanks Cam!

what's in a name?

It's taken me ages to come up with a design name that not only suits the sort of things I want to create, but strikes a chord with me personally. For me, it's also all about the font!! When I finally decided on yardage as my design name, I spent hours fiddling with fonts. Anyway, this is the first yardage thing I made - a denim shoulder bag with some Liberty trim and the design name embriodered. It makes it feel real when it's in the flesh!

I hope you're having a great Friday - cheers to the weekend!
