Lillibridge, Dakota 1966, vinyl bag after, texture

This was an experiment to give a thrifted vinyl clutch some new life. I haven’t decided if I will paint the bag. I think the effect is quite interesting. I do believe life is more interesting with some “rough texture”.

How I used the vintage curtain…

crewel bag, Lillibridge, Dakota 1966

I used the design of this remarkable flea market find to dictate the shape of the bag. I found a few vintage buttons this morning at the flea market that will serve as the closure. I can’t wait to carry this bag. I learned a lot on this one. I want to keep doing a lot more detail inside with the lining and I need to do it before I sew it in, but I get so excited about what I am doing I miss some steps. Sequencing and logic are not my strong suits. Happy Wednesday!
