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.

These zipper bags are the BEST! I would like to order one like this and will pay whatever. I'm thinking $80, does that pay for time, materials and creative juice? Perfect for dipes for new baby and looks like it can hold a lot...bottles, wipes, Holter monitor...you know, all the basics! ;o)

Dear Lilja-Girl, Thanks for asking about the satchels. The large zip bag made of oilcloth starts at $49
and the same size satchel using the
rare old barkcloth drapery fabric with the heavy coated cotton runs
a little higher. Most of them are $69-79.
