Sweet simple gifts are easily made from vintage linens (not being used otherwise!). Those unused dresser scarves made great bags for shoe storage when traveling, ...
or laundry bags, or small bags for misc. goods.
I can tell you from experience that opening up your luggage on the other end of a trip and finding something like this is a welcome sight.
Of course these could also be used as gift bags, or given as a set of gift bags. I've found numerous uses for mine. Hostess gift? Yes please.
The ties have been made with cashmere yarn, t-shirt yarn, and ribbon.
Most of these bags are made with minimal sewing with just a few straight lines of stitches. If you have been wondering what to do with (non precious) family linens perhaps these will inspire.
I hope you are well, healthy, happy or getting the support you need to deal with life's inevitable ups and downs.
