[Intro] Repurposing a Damaged Vintage Quilt into an Extra Large Tote Bag

Folks have been asking for a HUGE tote--so here it is! I call it the Kitchen Sink Tote, and it's perfect for the beach, the market, an overnight...
This is a light weight tote, and I purposely used a vintage summer weight quilt and 10oz pre-shrunk canvas (that feels lighter than a typical 10oz canvas). I get my canvas at Big Duck Canvas (here's the link for the 10oz 60" wide canvas I used in this video: www.bigduckcanvas.com/10-oz-c...)
If you want to make your own, I'll be publishing step-by-step instructions soon (stay tuned).

I'm thinking of doing the same with a salvaged quilt but had no idea where to start so thank you for posting this project; especially the repairs. I believe the maker of this quilt would be very pleased with your work also.

[@pattyjaworek4568]

thanks for the video. I have a few old quilts and I'm looking for ideas of how to use. Like yours, some patching will be needed.

[@m.a.b.e.l]

I love using patches from the remnants-less waste!

Love the yellow quilted shirt you are wearing! Do you have a pattern for that too?

[@m.a.b.e.l]

Thanks! This was a gift from a friend-she made all the log cabin blocks from fabric we used sewing together, lined them and then sewed a shirt from it. There’s no pattern, but you could try the same technique using a simple shirt pattern you love.
