The big, the small and the tiny

As I mentioned yesterday I made something out of an old oil cloth. It was a tablecloth in its previous life. I found it in a box, neatly folded, feeling miserable over a burned hole in its body. Since my mother in law didn't intend to use it any more, I thought it might be fun if I get hold of it.

The idea was to make a beach bag. Whole summer I've been struggling with wet beach towels and swimsuits, carrying two-three other (cotton) bags so that I don't mix the dry and the wet ones. So I thought it would be a great idea if I make a bag that wouldn't mind getting wet, that would be easy to dry and clean and big and spacious enough for all the things we carry to the beach.

I love it already! Can't wait to try it this weekend!

Since it was a big tablecloth I used the scraps to make Miss Eva a cute bag she will certainly use when she goes to the beach with her friends and is big enough for all the girly stuff she always takes like sunglasses, sunblock, lip gloss, a kerchief and a pair of bikini. I hope she likes it!

And since I cut out the squares (brain storming other projects) I made a tiny pincushion!

Phew! How's that... enough repurposing?!

Never!!
