How to Make a Crossbody Tote Bag From a Beach Towel or Any Other Fabric / Material

[@deniserichards6126]

Your imagination in high gear! This is so boho/ vintage adorable!!

[@tmyershandmade978]

Thank you so much!!🤗💕💕💕💕

[@michaelsnider2484]

Our Dear Ms. Myers: Love, love love your channel! The way you cut the first doily to make longer trim: Brilliant! I look forward to everyone of your videos and shorts!!

[@tmyershandmade978]

Thank you so so much 🤗💕💕💕💕

[@sherryturner4745]

Excellent as always.

Love the Victorian antique-y look of this bag!

[@tmyershandmade978]

Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖

[@forestsecrets5687]

Traci, I remember that towel pattern from the 70's. I even have old dishes with a similar pattern. It's an inspiration to see how you remake these vintage and otherwise discarded items into a new and useful Bag or Clothes. I am looking at old vintage things and wondering how to remake them as you do. It takes me a lot longer to make a new Bag or Blouse, Vest or Kimono Coat out of old fabrics - since they have to be washed and cut apart & ironed to begin with. But there is a satisfaction about doing all of that. Saving just a tiny bit of the beautiful old fabrics and handmade things from being lost to a landfill is worth the effort. It's about loving and appreciating the old, vintage stuff.

[@tmyershandmade978]

Yes exactly!🤗💕💕💕

[@gigih4965]

Tracy, the bag is fabulous! And so are you! Thank you!❤️🌺

[@tmyershandmade978]

Awww! Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕💕

[@trishabaran1521]

Well you did it again! Love it 💕 It really does take me back to the 60’s . I think my generation was thrifters way before it became popular like today . I remember paper dresses and Go go boots! lol ! I loved the Bohemian bags then & now …. It’s like a blast 💥 from the past . Thanks for sharing your creativity with The rest of us . Have a safe and productive week ☮️🩷

[@tmyershandmade978]

[@chickadeeacres3864]

Once again you didn’t disappoint! I must have a half dozen beach towels too good to give away. Thanks for another great idea.

[@tmyershandmade978]

Thank you so much!!🤗💖💖💖💖

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Love the tea-dying on the towel. It just wouldn’t look as fun & vintagey if it were modern bright white.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

We can't go shopping in most stores around here, with a Tote Bag that large anymore. Plus, two different people tried to snatch my purse, on two different occasions, at our local Walmart. A small cross-body bag, that can be hidden under my clothes) is the best choice for shopping around here. I do most of my shopping in small stores in another county now. It is safer. Both of your bags are beautiful.

[@tmyershandmade978]

🤗💕💕💕

[@karoleenascottage]

What part of the country are you? That’s terrible that your stores aren’t safe.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I live near Morehead, Kentucky, which is in Rowan County (located in Eastern Kentucky). @@karoleenascottage

[@kimpeasester]

Thats absolutely horrific. Im so sorry that you have to live amongst such pathetic crime. Its horrible!

[@CraftyandChic]

So sorry to here of these terrible things happening to you😢 It's a shame!

[@theresaanndiaz3179]

I love those crocheted doilies. Someone spent a long time making them since all crochet is done by hand, it's good that they are finding a new life as decorative elements. If you think about the skill and time spent making them, it's amazing how cheap they are now.

[@crosezrose]

What a fun project!! I remember making these bags in the 70's! So naturally I'm attracted to the vibe of it!! ~Love it~
