How to: make vintage doily shopping bags

doily_bags2.jpgIndie Fixx featured a great idea for making shopping bags from recycled materials this week: they've used old doilies, fresh from granny's table, and sewn them to a basic drawstring bag top made from vintage fabric.This gives you a really cute, folksy looking bag that would be perfect for grocery store visits in true, eco-friendly style. The tutorial is here, with detailed step-by-step instructions.

Feeling lazy? You can also buy these bags pre-made on Etsy for $15 a throw.
