Old to New

It started out as a vintage table cloth. I hoarded it in my stash for quite some time, just pondering the possibilities. I asked for ideas from family members and friends and the best suggestion was from Benjamin. "How about using it as a table cloth?" Um, yeah, but that's what it is. I want to make it into something different.

Using the Birdie Sling Pattern from Amy Butler, I turned that table cloth into a new diaper bag. The photo is not very good. It really is a great diaper bag. It's huge so it fits my cloth diapers, bottles and snacks plus my wallet. I only wish I had put a key fob in it.

For the handle I used the border of the table cloth.

Have you made something old into something new?

  7. Good use of the tablecloth. The Birdie sling is so pretty, and what a perfect pattern for a diaper bag. I made a Birdie Sling a year or so ago, and I've never used it because it's so big.
