I found this wood woven picnic basket yesterday, 2.00. Decided it needed a liner so I sewed 3 bandanas (thanks, AA!) Stitched pockets on each end. I now have space inside and out to carry art supplies- sketchbook, needle, floss, muslin and misc. artsy bits for when the mood strikes!
Also found a vintage poncho, 1.50; assorted seam binding, .49 and a Relic handbag, 1.50. Nifty thrifty! Jessica Pearl
You had a great idea with the picnic basket, and I just love that purse!
ReplyDeleteI was there when you bought the seam tape; didn't see the purse or basket.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas you have. Repurpose, reuse, recycle. The three 'r's. Way to go.
That basket is NEAT! I love having things like that to tuck supplies into.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable basket. Clever idea on a way to re purpose it too. At least it wont linger on a shelf somewhere anymore :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for using the basket to tote around your creative bits! And that handbag is sweet! Kinda groovy! Gotta love those charity shops. You never know what treasures you will find!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I need that purse!
ReplyDeleteI said the same thing when I saw it! ;)
