Last Thursday, we went to a bag sale at a nearby church and found this beauty. Actually, I thought it was butt-ugly, but Wendy saw some charm in it, so we bought it for $1.
A vintage tablecloth:
Today, I cut it up and for just about $13.50... including the lining fabric (~$9), the corduroy shirt I cut up for the apron strings ($1) and the tablecloth ($1), the belt I got at Sally's ($1), and the ($1.50) D-Rings, I made the following....

Sew creative (pun intended)! I love the purse and apron...I think I would have had the same initial reaction to the tablecloth as you...but when made into smaller pieces it looks great!
