Vintage Sesame Street Bag






Finally I got this one done. I have had this material for a couple of years, I think it may have been a small curtain, I made Joey a pair of shorts when he was a baby and saved the rest. I only just got a bag out of it by joining pieces for the handles. Since this one is ours, I put a zippered pocket in (to stop the rummaging problem), which was pretty simple but I think I can figure out a neater way of doing this next time.




Mr Joe thought it was pretty cool as you can see. The kids gathered up all the Sesame Street toys we had to go in the bag. They didn't understand why Elmo couldn't be in the photo despite me telling them Elmo was relatively new to Sesame St, and not in the original line up! I guess this shows how old the material is...

Leah, it's gorgeous! How did you sew with the vinyl? I'd love some tips.
