Thrift Flip : A New Project : Minimalist Family Life

[@Unknownbluedot]

Vintage “folding sewing/knitting bag”. Great find and even better price. In the states (online at least) they are quite expensive. Turned out great!

[@npigwnl]

Looks great, and the enamel pins are such a nice touch!

[@danielle9940]

Such a lovely little op shop find and a fun project! Thank you for sharing!

[@MeadowAfternoon]

The final bag/box looks really good. I actually really like the original fabric, it has a nice Medieval tapestry vibe but I like that you turned it into something that fits your style.

[@TheJoyNinjaNZ]

What a bargain for $3 - truly - I've seen them in my oppie for more like $15-20. Not sure what the original name for them is, but my grandma definitely had one, they were very common back in the day. I can't be 100% sure but I believe the wooden frame came as a kit set with a pattern and the knitter made up the fabric part to their taste. Anyway, so nice to see it given a new lease on life and it fits well into your scandi aesthetic along with being very useful!

I liked the basket so much more with the new fabric!

[@J2p611]

It's a magazine holder.

[@LuLu-bi1ci]

very nice! 🥰

Cute little project en well made. I use to handknitt all the time. Now I play animal crossing on the switch. But this i realy like too. Looking forward to your next video and hopefully I'll be creative again.

[@WildKraftyAotearoa]

That is so cool! My mum gave me one and now my daughter is on the lookout, lol. I wanted to replace the bag but thought it might be too fidgety. Man, you made that look soooo easy! Love it. I love the pins, they look cool az. 🌺🌺🌺

[@vikkibendle1749]

Great job! It’s really nice when you get a bargain and can repurpose it….. I like the original tapestry too but I know it is not your decor.. I’ve never heard the baskets called anything in particular but I would have called it a craft bag/basket.

[@desola17]

Wow!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jowatson2607]

So clever! It’s absolutely freezing here in the UK -5C when we wake up. I’d love a bit of sunshine ☀️ xx

[@bayleymadeit]

I wish I could send you some of ours Jo! ☀️

[@jowatson2607]

@@bayleymadeit I think many of us would gratefully receive it! 😉 xx

[@Woeschhuesli]

Bayley! That is brilliant - I have a very similar frame from my MIL‘s house with handle slits in the top bars; the fabric more or less disintegrated so I have no pattern and so had been procrastinating on figuring out a solution for a new bag. Your video is the perfect motivation to get it done and back in use after many years 😃👍 Thankyou!

[@Dimigt530]

I love how you gave the bag new life!! Looks like it belongs in your home. 😊

[@anotherhomeschoolmom1367]

Brilliant!!

[@alexd7368]

I had no idea it was a project bag, ive been using a linen one for toilet rolls for 10 years😂

[@shegoeslightly]

I just went and found one on marketplace, to copy. 😍 I hope you do more videos soon Bailey, I really love your content!

[@ellielizhavenofbless945]

Awesome job!! Looks really good Bailey!

[@paigelorrabeth]

I have one of these too! It is on my project list to change the fabric - I was so excited to see your video and get to watch you figure it out! Love how yours turned out. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@AMcDub0708]

Fantastic!! I hate hand stitching with a passion so I probably would’ve put Velcro there or even hot glued it 😂 Turned out wonderful!

[@julestopper7553]

This was SO cute!!!

[@sarahwhitt83]

You are so talented! Looked fab!

[@Mrssupermumm]

Hi Bailey. You did a great job.

[@megnicholls9931]

So cute

[@mumoftwoboys8426]

Feeling so spoilt with all the new videos! ❤

[@Mieke256]

It looks amazing! Over here in the Netherlands you see them (usually very old ones) for used for knitting or as magazine holders. This might be the solution to my storage issue of my WIPs. I’m not sure exactly where I would put a basket in our living room, but it must be better than putting my project bags in my already overloaded pantry. Although I love wooden furniture, I have some chunky yarn in pastel pink and purple that I could crochet into a large basket. I’m also working this year to reduce my yarn stash, so crocheting a basket would help that too.

[@sarahedgar8812]

Love this!

[@The2gsandme]

Love it!!

[@qrstuv4439]

Amazing effort! Looks great x

[@mystanthorpegarden6634]

Great job - my Gran had one and she always called it her knitting bag. Very handy to have and hold all your projects in one place. Nice to see you back. Have a great day ❤

[@johnsminimalism9830]

absolutely love this! so creative and matchy with the chairs

[@angelaschredl9245]

A great crafty thing 😍 In Germany we call such things magazine holder or an utensilo. What are your current crafty/knitting projects?

[@oneclassybiird7100]

$3! What a great score! You gave that piece new life ❤️

[@TheAlicesandilands]

My mum bought one from the op shop a few weeks ago and she was so excited to find it!

[@denisecarter5117]

So cute. Goes so good with your chair.

[@cindylou2713]

I think they're just called folding frame knitting baskets. You did a great job on it!

[@inspiringsimple]

Good morning, Bayley. It’s been so hot here in Melbourne until yesterday when it felt like winter again 😆 I think you really are so talented and the addition of the pins is ✨

[@bayleymadeit]

Thank you Katherine! Good morning ☕️☀️

[@pens_n_pals]

What an awesome find and love how you have upcycled it. I am sure that you will find it really useful for storing all your projects to have on the go. It is called a wooden folded knitting bag or you can search for a modern version called Everything Mary Fold Up Yarn Caddy.

[@shurnixon]

Looks so fabulous! Love seeing these projects !

[@marylynsheldon8389]

Great job Bayley loverly result x

[@ANNtique]

Wow you did a great job. I like that your boys were home and would be seeing you problem solve and complete an upcycle ptoject. I have no idea what they’re are called but growing up it seems everyone’s grandma had one in that same thick upholstery fabric - always floral. Great deal at $3 too

[@annahalverson1132]

That turned out so cute! It goes perfectly with everything else in your home. I especially love the cute pins! And I'm so jealous that you get to wear cute sleeveless outfits right now. 😄 I love the top with those overalls. 😍

[@EzAnderson]

I will now be on the hunt for one of these in the op shops here in Perth ❤

[@marshavesta7091]

It turned out great! Very impressed! 👍😀

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

That looks fantastic. I like the tapestry fabric but your way looks fantastic 🥰🥰

[@jenniferparker2404]

This is so adorable. Well done, and a brilliant job! I have been enjoying your videos since I came across you. I love the style of your home, particularly the grey mid century chair...keeping my eye out for a nice second hand one.

[@lyndarossi933]

Love it! You did a great job!

[@OGGgirl]

Beautiful job! You are talented - wish we could get your bags in the US - shipping is crazy ridiculous -

[@katjaherwarth-wollmershaus8380]

[@inspiringsimple]

They are called “open closey bags” 😆

[@bayleymadeit]

I’m glad I know the technical term now 😂
