Thrifty Thursday, Portable Art Issue

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

  2. I was there when you bought the seam tape; didn't see the purse or basket.

    Great ideas you have. Repurpose, reuse, recycle. The three 'r's. Way to go.

  4. What an adorable basket. Clever idea on a way to re purpose it too. At least it wont linger on a shelf somewhere anymore :)
