  Step 1

  take one plain natural cotton tote bag

  pin on a pretty vintage embroidered doily

• 

  Step 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}

• 

  Step 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.

  Step 4

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