Hi there and welcome to my shop. Here you will find old embroideries, vintage fabrics and sparkling remnants made into something pretty and practical once again. I re-stock slowly but surely, so do keep coming back for a browse.
As I try to recycle where I can, your order will arrive wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard.
Thank you for visiting me at Folksy.

This sweet little purse was once a tired and damaged tea cosy from Sue Ryder in York. With some careful TLC, it has become a pretty and practical purse, ready to be used once again.

Full description

This pretty little purse, cosmetics bag or make up bag is made from a vintage embroidered tea cosy. Its sweet design of a cottage garden bed of flowers is typical of home sewn embroidery from back in the day.It has a real period charm, and would make a lovely gift for a vintage textile lover, a gardener, or to send out as a little virtual hug for someone this Christmas.

The embroidery has been stitched onto cotton to strengthen it, but it is still a soft little bag.

It measures 17 cm wide and 13 cm long, with a 17 cm purple zip orening.

The front is made of vintage embroidery with 3 little buttons, and the back is blue recycled denim to give it some edge. It is lined with a pretty vintage cotton.

There is a scalloped finger hook to hang it up somewhere nice and admire the flowers, and it is finished off with my own embroidered name tag.

I like to recycle. Your bag will be posted out packaged in clean reused wrapping from my hoard, and sent as Royal Mail 2nd class.
