they were kick ass and many, but I've been busy
revamping stuff both yesterday and today.
I tell you what, I'meet you half way, I'll blog about
a find I revamped, how's that sound? ;)
I got this on Sunday for £2.50.
It was filled to the brim with baby knitting patterns
from the 1960's and a lot of knitting needles.
I don't knit but I do plan to learn one day so I keep
the needles for now.
The patterns might end up on Etsy in the future.
Anyway, I fell in love with the barkcloth but I wasn't
at all over the moon about the handles, waaay too
granny for me, but as the hoarder that I am I knew I
had some old bamboo handles laying around and the
plan of a revamp was born...
The fabric were quite dirty so I washed it twice and
ripped the old stitches up because the bag was quite
badly made.
Went around with zigzag stitching twice, I hate when
stuff fray and fold, iron and stitch it all together and
hey presto Rascal got a brand new vintage bag.

Looks lovely after the revamp;) Much better than the original!
Love it! Seriously, you find the best stuff.
Looks great, it's amazing what a talented stitch or two can do to an old scruffy item; it suddenly becomes pretty and original.
