I had another request to make an upcycled coffee sack bag. So once I dove into my stash and dust started flying, I decided that I might as well cut a batch of them and sew up some bags.
The creative aspect of this was really fun! I examined the bags and cut the best parts of each one, then decided what I could make.
This batch is a fairly simple set of bags. But my mind was filled with ideas of other bags to make down the road, including messenger bags and retro-style newspaper bags.
The down side of working with the bags is that the cutting and sewing creates a lot of fiber dust! I feel it in my nose, my chest and on my skin. So I am going to work on these only periodically. If there is something that you would like me to make, please ask.
These will be sold to my Facebook friends first and then I’ll be listing them.
