Anyway~ I did have a little fun this week. :-) A sweet friend sent me one of the sacks that holds the sunflower seeds she purchases for her birds. I wish I had taken a photo before I cut into it~ it was huge!~ but I was so excited to get started! LOL I made my self a tote bag. ~~
I love red cardinals!! So I accented the bag with red. ;-)
I made double handles~ long ones for my shoulder and shorter ones for hand carrying. I have another bag with handles like this and I just love it! It is big enough to hold one of those plastic 12 inch square block satchels. Which works out perfectly for me, for hauling my projects to retreat and back. ;-)
Since I had a piece leftover, I also made pockets for the inside. It was a lot of fun playing with the seed sack. :-)
I hope you've had some fun sewing this week too. Now it is back to cutting for me~
Have a happy!!
And don't forget~
The Stitch Me Up Blog hop is still hopping along with a lot of great stitched projects~~

What a great idea for making a bag...out of a bag! It looks wonderful! :0)
I love it! Those colors are so pretty. I have been meaning to cut up my Comic Con bags to make some small pouches. This is sure motivation for me to do so. Oh, I think I need to go find them first. As I type this I can't remember where I stashed them ;-D
I wouldn't have thought of it, but that's a great idea to add 2 sets of handles - long and short. I'll have to remember that!
Love your bag! It is so cute...pretty creative of you!
I love what you did with the feed sack, what a wonderful idea for a bag and it came out beautifully.

Great idea on the "double" handles. I like purses that can be held either way too.
Happy Easter, Sandie!
Cute bag! And the pockets are really nice!
