Burlap Computer Tote

Cut the bag apart

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Whimsical, Funky

Materials

Burlap rice bag, iron-on vinyl, denim, home dec fabric, a zipper

What was your inspiration?

I've seen a lot of totes made from burlap bags. I had this rice bag and two coffee bags but hesitated because burlap is rough. It finally came to me - fuse some iron-on vinyl on the burlap to soften it. Viola!

What are you most proud of?

It all came together so well. But I was happy that the vinyl fused to the burlap. I wasn't sure if it would work.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
