Trudyb said... Hey thanks! I really love your look and the fact that it's recycled materials. The cost of making a bag is a consideration and that's a neat way around that problem. I think you've inspired me to make one now. 9/27/10 9:21 AM
thirteenstitches said... GREAT bag!!! I love your entire "upcycly-recycle" idea. I also have some nice fabric rice bags I've saved to reuse. Never heard of fusicle vinyl. Where di you get it? Thanks for the review ; ) Now can I borrow some of your "free" time? 9/27/10 9:37 AM

3HoursPast said... Thanks, ladies. Thirteenstitches, I used thermoweb. I get it from work (quilt shop) but it's probably widely available. It's really good stuff, makes anything a laminate though it does need to be carefully pressed after construction to avoid the "crackly" look. 9/27/10 5:56 PM

JDpenelope said... What a recyling triumph and interesting project. I learned several new things -- Never heard of fusible vinyl -- will look for some. Also never heard of rigilene boning -- might skip that one, we'll see. You may have just sold a bunch of Amy Butler patterns. 9/28/10 9:00 AM
lesliez said... This looks great! I've always loved the printing on rice bags and old flour sacks. 9/28/10 12:38 PM

ElizabethDee said... Love your bag! Love your match of the BIG purse with your brilliant upcycled rice bags -- the scale is great. And love the insulated pouch idea as well. Thanks. 10/5/10 9:10 AM
