Ann (Holy Experience) linked to a post on The Long Thread with a roundup of tutorials for craft projects--looks like mostly sewing, but not all: there's a cardboard dollhouse, Snow-Globe Soap, crocheted heart, and fusible-interfacing origami. I can see why Ann liked this post!
But the project I wanted to point out is the Dilly Doily Bag Tutorial on Scrumdillydilly. My first thought was--isn't that a bit impractical, using vintage doilies for carrying dirty vegetables? But actually cotton thread makes lots of sense--I mean, that's what people knit and crochet string bags out of, and dishcloths too. If you wash the bags carefully, why shouldn't it work fine?

The cotton yarn should make for great produce bags. I should think that this would be an especially good use for slightly damaged, but still lovely doilies. for those who might not feel entirely comfortable putting a doily to this particular use, I would think that net fabric would make a good substitute.
