Tutorial: Lunch tote bag from a vintage sheet

Kathleen from Welcome to My World guest blogs over at The Vintage Sheet Blog with a tutorial showing how to use a vintage sheet to make a lunch tote bag. Actually, this little bag is so cute and such a nice size, there’s no reason why you couldn’t just use it as a small purse. Go to the tutorial.

Vintage sheets are very popular for re-styling or recycling of fabric and a great way to use these fun and bold prints rather than just storing grannies old bedsheets in the cupboard. You can see more articles using vintage sheets here. Don’t have any vintage bed sheets of your own? Check these out on Etsy.
