Creating...Vintage t-towel, bag

I blogged yesterday about this lovely vintage t-towel that I found at our local op shop...


...and said that I planned to make it into a shopping bag...well, tada...here 'she' be...







I cut the t-towel in half so both the front & back picture would be upright; added the crotcheted pieces & sewed it together with the top joining hem already ironed. The red lining & handles are recycled from a medium weight red cotton that was a cloth I had made for under our (fake) Christmas tree in 2006. I am super pleased with the results (I don't think the photos quite do it justice) & will include this as the 'handmade' part of my prize when I have my first competition to say, 'thankyou for following' :-)...Neens xxx
