Yup, I'm a sucker for anything that's floral oil cloth.
Especially when it has a lovely red polka dot lining too. Even if it is a slightly weird shape for a cosmetics / toiletries bag - this baby measures approx. 12 x 9 inches with the zip along one of the shorter edges! 50p from the car boot sale this morning. No idea what I'll do with it but as I say I do like a nice bit of floral oil cloth.
I know what you mean about the joy of oilcloth, especially combined with the joy of polka dots in red. You could use it as a travel project bag for embroidery to go...

Love that! You don't see floral oil cloth much here in the States, so I'd be all over that. Especially, as you said, with the dots. Why not run some stitching along the corners to box it a bit?

An interesting little find and a very little price. Who could resist such a gem?
I'm sure you'll find a use for it.
BTW while I'm here that pillowcase bag you sent me is brilliant! I'm going to make some myself (and I worked out the corners)
