Vintage Embroidery Garden Linen Pocket Handmade Fabric Tote by Lyssy May - Navy Gingham

This handmade design gives new life to a vintage embroidered doily (one of a matching set of 2) that has been repurposed as a front pocket on a navy and white cotton gingham tote. 

The garden scene pocket of a butterfly and flowers has been lovingly stitched in stranded cotton and has a crochet edging. It is the perfect size to hold your smart phone or glasses on the outside of the bag. 

The tote is light weight and fully lined with pink homespun cotton and also has 2 inside pockets in the contrasting gingham. It will fit everyday essentials, including a tablet, wallet and notebooks.

Bag Size:  Portrait shaped 32 cm wide x 31 cm high x 5 cm deep 

Handle Length:  56 cm x 2.5 cm with a 24 cm drop to fit comfortably over the shoulder 

Features: 1 x outside pocket | 2 x inside pockets | Magnetic Clasp closure | Structured with heavy weight interfacing

The design has been treated with fabric protector.

Fabric bags are fabulously lightweight and as a popular accessory there may be a time to give your design a freshen up. Many of our customers have been using their Lyssy May bag for years!

• Any small marks that your bag may receive can be spot removed with a damp cloth. I have found the most effective method is to use an alcohol wipe, such as a baby wipe.
  
• A separate cool hand wash in a mild detergent is all your bag needs to spring back into action.
  
• Lie flat in the shade to dry.
  
• Avoiding any embellishments, a warm iron is best to keep the design in shape. 
  
• If you are unsure about any of the care instructions, please email me with any of your questions and I'll more than happy to help.

After spending time choosing how the fabric will best suit a style (sometimes this can take quite a few hours of contemplation!) the Lyssy May handmade creation process kicks in -

• choose a pattern from my paper pattern library
• carefully cut out the fabric, linings, pockets, handles and interlining
• press all of the above pieces ready with their seams etc ready to sew
• match the sewing threads, wind the bobbins
• thread my machine and start with sewing on my Lyssy May label
• many trips between the machine and the iron during the making process
• add fasteners and top stitch bag
• press bag into shape
• treat with fabric protector and dry in the shade
• photograph, write a description and add it to the website for you to browse and after many hours of time, effort and love being woven into a design....voila here were are!

Please note that pattern placement will vary according to the way in which the fabric has been hand cut and may be slightly different to the image shown.
