I used to be a stickler for never cutting into fabric in particular but over the years I now think either it is made into something or it remains in a drawer for ever and a day and that it not what it was built for. I too use old tapestries for bags - hardworking bags that withstand the rigours of grocery shopping! I will get on with the weekend bag that I have been meaning to make from them and never get round to.

So no criticisms from this corner - can't see anything amiss with any of them anyway. And what a cracking way to use embroidered cloths. Shows off all the best bits.<br /><br />I thought about my comment re cutting up embroideries and realised I am a total hypocrit because I cut up old needlepoint tapestries and use them to make bags and iPad covers etc.. so BOO! to me. <br /><br />Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.com
