    Default Tote made from Grandpa's clothes
    A girl in Sunday School had a tote bag that had embellishments made from some of her late grandfather's clothing. I thought it was a nice sentimental tote and she gave me permission to take a pic. Attached.

    Great idea. Is the sleeve actually a long pocket, or just an embellishment?
