Vintage Reversible Market Tote

This drapery fabric is probably from the 40s or

the 50s. Sort of a wild twill cotton. Big rick rack

around the top and ties for closure. Big pocket and

small one on the Moda oilcloth cotton lining. This

one is completely reversible. About 13+inches high

and 19-20 inches wide, with 6 inches across the

base. Reinforced seams and strap attachments.

The Monkey loves these old and new dotty fabrics.

One More Barkcloth/Oilcloth Satchel.

This big satchel is made with my very favorite

of the vintage barkcloth fabrics. Big red and bold

chartreuse flowers. About 22 inches across and

18 inches high or so. Two pkts inside, one large

enough to hold the little matching zipper pursie.

Moda heavy red dotted oilcloth inside and on the

bottom and shoulder straps. Monkey is in the

Flow.

Another Vintage Drapery Satchel with Oilcloth Inside

Monkey is proud of this one. Good sturdy bottom

and inside with pockets: all made with coated cotton

oilcloth. Great new brown with soft pink dots. The

outside is from a wonderful sort of canvas-y drapery

fabric I found at the Allegan Antiques Market, maybe

from the 1940s-50s. Just makes the Monkey want

to go shopping and fill it up. Dimensions are the same

as the one below. I made a little zippee to go with it.

Vintage Barkcloth Drapery Bag with Oilcloth Bottom

Polkadot Monkey has finally gotten back to work!

This new bag makes the Monkey feel like going

to the Farmers Market. It has that wacky 1930s

feather frond "barkcloth" drapery on the outside

and the sturdy Moda Fabrics Co. polkadotty pink

oilcloth on the bottom and on the inside. Big pkt

and a little one too for a cell phone. 22" across and

18" high, with 22" reinforced handles for carrying

by hand or on the shoulder. At last another way

to use the old fabrics stored up in the workroom.
