I bought this bag at the South Hobart Tip shop...I bought it specifically to salvage the beads from it...the bag already had a large hole in it and was stained inside etc.
so it took me a little while but I removed all the beads...including the seed beads on the handle...then i washed the beads in a jar with warm soapy water and then let them sit in some white vinegar for a little while.
stay tuned for these beads to be turned into something new!!!

I look forward to seeing what you make from the beads! How great that you salvaged them!
That's a really cute top that you posted on Sew Retro.
I have been to your blog before, but it's all dazzling now and pretty with a revamp!
I WISH I lived in freaking Tasmania! You're finding THE best things at the ops down there! I went to some today here in Syds and it's just 80s galore and hardly any good patterns.
! I'm going to add you to my blog roll so I can check in again!
