Thrift Store Lace Bag Tutorial

We love to create things with

vintage lace from Canton and other

flea markets, but what if you 

don't have access to flea markets?


{this is part of our vintage stash }

 We decided to see what we could 

find at local thrift stores and

made a fun shopping day out of it!

Digging through all the old clothes

was such fun and we found some great 

dresses and shirts to create
lace and ruffles ~

This full lace dress was only $1.99!

Isaac was worn out from all our shopping :)

Here are some of our finds ~

Next, we made black tea and tea dyed 

the white lace and dresses ~

Just hang them in the sun to dry ~

Once they were dry, we cut up

the dresses to get the fabric

we needed for our project ~

We used a tea dyed muslin

drawstring bag ~

We pinned the lace to the bag

and cut and gathered the skirt fabric

to make a ruffle for the bottom of the bag. 

We then sewed the lace

and the ruffle to the bag ~

Afterwards, we chose buttons,

a tattered rose, and lace to

embellish the bag. This is where

you want to get creative!

Here is the final project!

And another bag from a 

baby girl dress we found ~

We had so much fun today!

Go to your thrift store for inspiration :)
