Yesterday, as I was sewing up some other items, I decided to make an appropriate bag for the antique photo album journal. I cut up one of my vintage table runners and thought it went so well with the journal.
It was actually pretty easy to do and I liked how it came out.
I worked on other items all day yesterday but will show at a later time so as to not spoil some surprises for a swap I am in.
Have a great evening everyone and thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteGreat journal bag and it goes so perfectly with your journal. I really like the straps and buttons you used - plus those old sears catalog pages are most excellent!
ReplyDeleteOooooh la la... what a stunning bag!!! You should market those... I adore the vintage look. So gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing... I may just be inspired to try one, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea! Beautiful, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI found my way to your blog via Full Tilt Boogie which I am a member of although I haven't made a thing because I just got returned from a long trip to France and England. I was so curious to see your bookbag and I LOVE IT!!! I also have fallen in love with your blog! I love vintage and especially lace. I used to watch my Irish grandmother crocheting mounds of Irish lace and sat at her feet and watched it form and fall off her lap onto butcher paper that her sons spread all around her, I loved her home full of vintage treasures and I can't help myself from rescuing whatever finds call out to me. I love your artistic style so much - thank you for the inspiration!!!!
It's beautiful, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I have some table runners with spots that I just couldn't get rid of so I think you came up with such an elegant solution I am going to have to dig them out! Love your bag and journal.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea for your journal bag, Nancy Lynn! It's beautiful and fits the style of the journal so well.
ReplyDeleteYour bag is just perfect to put your beautiful journal in.
ReplyDeleteThe swap you mention ... is that the signature swap on FTB? I've been borderline about joining it, but am really tempted. Maybe it's the boost I need to get going!
ReplyDeleteJust stopped by to say what an awesome blog you have and thank you for all the wonderful inspiration and sharing!
