Yoga Bag #1

At least that's what I think I'm calling it. It's long width-wise, but not too tall - good for carrying a yoga mat and gym clothes. The body of the bag is made from approximately 13 plastic bags, and the handles are made of cotton.





Let me know what you think, and what you'd expect to pay for something like this, because I have no idea whatsoever about what I should charge for these. :\

Project #2 - The Scarlet Satchel

This one won't be offered for sale, only because Scarlet-bug has laid her claim on it. It's 90% complete. Pictures to follow later this evening or tomorrow. ;)

Project #1 - Done!

Here is my first shop project, the "Utilitarian Upcycled Tote Bag".




I'm not an ace with a sewing machine, so this isn't perfectly rendered. On the plus side, this tote is made of 100% used, clean plastic bags (approximately 25 of them!) and is very sturdy. I haven't decided exactly what else I want to do with the handle. Maybe knit and i-cord and wrap it? Or maybe just crochet around it for a better look and comfortable feel in the hands. Still thinking on that one.

Since I'm still a little nervous about it, I'm going to have my more Etsy-experienced friends look it over and critique it bluntly before offering it for sale. In the mean time, I'll be thinking and tinkering on bag #2. ;)

Hello, Hello!

I just wanted to get a quick post up to let the world know that I am here. I am, at this moment, working on my first offering for the shop. Plastic bags, transformed. Stay tuned... ;)
