I have been seeing a lot of burlap bags around and I am loving them.
This one at La Maison Reid is adorable. She also has a link there for a simple lined tote bag in burlap with a rosette.
So I thought I would use some of the burlap I bought the other day and give it a try. I was trying to think if I have ever actually sewed anything from burlap, and as far as I can remember I haven't. But it turned out that it isn't hard to work with and it was totally fun putting this little Christmas Shopping Tote together.
It was late, very late, when I started on it and I fooled around quite a while with measurements and deciding on the fabric. It ended up measuring about 14" tall by 13" wide. Then I had to figure out how to make the rosette because it needed some embellishment, and I didn't have time to run out to the craft store. But I probably would have if I knew of any 24 hour craft stores in this podunk town. Just sayin' if you happen to be up with a glue gun in your hand at 3 am, maybe a 24 hour craft store wouldn't be out of the question...
So I am pretty satisfied with the end result and I think this cute green burlap bag will be perfect for someone to carry all their little holiday goodies in. It has one large pocket inside to round up your essentials like wallet, car keys and phone.

That burlap bag is really sweet, and I love the color! I always thought burlap would be hard to work with as it tends to ravel...but they are really hot now and look so cool! Great job, Doni!
