1. 

   

   take one plain natural cotton tote bag
   
   pin on a pretty vintage embroidered doily

2. 

   

   then remember you need to sew on some buttons
   {vintage of course!}
   sew on the buttons, through the doily but not through the bag. Then
   machine stitch your doily to your tote with contrasting cotton,
   i used different colours for top and bobbin threads
   {try not to get too cross with your dumb-ass sewing machine}




3. 

   

   select a small crochet doily and
   using a matching cotton hand sew the doily to the centre of the first doily
   remembering too late you should have done this before sewing on the first doily, sigh.
   select a beautiful carved vintage mother-of-pearl button
   to adorn the centre of the second doily
   sew on with contrasting embroidery thread.

4. 

   

   there you go - all finished, a cool new shopping bag!
   i hope you like it.
