#Handmade - Recycled burlap bags


Two more recycled Burlap bags finished - coffee bags, I think :-)

The first one is really big, but perfect for summer to come with a long strap,
so it's comfy to carry big water bottles (and your knitting) around.

The smaller one is more a basket.
Currently I store my spindle and wool for spinning in there (not that I have tried spinning yet)....

#Handmade - Another handbag


Another handbag, recycled from a rice bag (including the zipper).
I need to fix a few stitches at the bottom (too thick for the machine, I screwed up and should have cut that part) & also need to sew the zipper ends by hand.
But I really, really love this one!

#Handmade - Recycled Burlap / Rice bag


I love the idea of making something useful / pretty out of these poor bags, that otherwise end up in the trash.

I wish all of Kuwait would give me their poor coffee and rice Burlap bags :-D

Here's the story of the latest one (I'm still training, but the machine and I are starting to become friends ;-))
