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!!🤗💕💕💕💕

[@ljkpatriotusa7290]

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!🤗💕💕💕

[@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 🤗💕💕💕💕

You are so talented. Love all your projects. Thank you

[@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]

Thank you so so much! You have an awesome week, as well!🤗💕💕💕

[@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]

[@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.

[@roberta19348]

What a beautiful burst of colors, patterns and textures. I absolutely adore the entire vibe of this project. You are amazing, dear.

[@tmyershandmade978]

[@marieshean]

Beautiful bag! I have a couple of questions, I crochet and have made doilies like those--since it is made of thread How do you prevent it from unravelling because it will and then there goes the whole crocheted design! Do you find when you do the corners, after items are placed inside the bag, the corners loosen after using the bag? Thank you for responding!

[@tmyershandmade978]

The corners don't lossen and the doilies don't unravel, just fray🤗💕💕💕💕
