in a former life...

...this bag was a bed sheet and a men's denim shirt.



It is reversible, with the button placket from the shirt on one side (sewn closed and decorated with different colored buttons) and the chest pocket on the other side, which could be used whether it was inside the bag or out. My own pattern, just a basic tote-bag style but with a flared shape toward the bottom. I'm very pleased with how this turned out!






And this pair of Mama & Little Girl bags were once a damask tablecloth, thrifted here on post. These are also reversible, but have no pockets or other details. You can see the 2 sides are very similar- it is just the right and wrong side of the damask design.
