Bags from towels

Remember, the current theme is to make a bag using (preferably vintage and recycled) linens.
So that would include towels.
Although I hope you get more creative than this, it's a stepping stone.

    So, this is an interesting post. I never really thought about making my own bag but, that sure would be fun. Usually I get my designer bags from portero.com but your blog post has perhaps inspired me to try creating one too!
