"Charm"ing chelsea rose tote/diaper bag S&S
You all won't believe this, but I'm actually going to sns only ONE thing in this post for a change!!
The pics are deceiving ... the bag is larger than it looks. I couldn't figure out what to put in the pic for size reference, though. The width is 16", if that helps.
Butler "chelsea rose" on the top, "dotty beans" on the bottom. I used my *favorite* vintage button for the closure because it just looked like it was supposed to be there ... I'm already mourning the loss of my button because I listed it.
Ah well, on to the pics!

Inside:

And a close-up of my late, great, beloved button:


Thanks for letting me share!

I love your use of the fabrics, the trim and the perfect button. Hopefully your button will go to a home where it will be loved, admired and strutted around town to be shown off.

That's beautiful Julia! I just made a bag with a 16" opening at the top and I think it's the perfect size - big enough to carry a day's worth of supplies, but not so big you feel like you're carrying around a suitcase, lol. The button is a wonderful touch. I'm sure it will be well-loved in it's new home

Thanks mamas!
It actually does make me feel better to think the new owner is going to love this button as much as I do. I know getting so attached to vintage buttons is truly bizarre. I think it's just the history ... like, if this button could tell me everywhere it has been, everything it has "seen" ...
Suzanne--you don't know how tempting that is! Sounds like a little piece of heaven.

Great job! Do you have some super interfacing to make it stiff like that?

Wow, that's *gorgeous*! I admire your self-discipline in letting go of one of the beloved buttons...I know how much they mean to you.

(You didn't have any matching shoes you could use for scale? )
