She's Crafty

I am so thankful that I have rediscovered one of my passions. Crafting, sewing, painting, anything creative. Thanks to Threadbangers.com, a great DIY site, I have tons of inspiration. On that site I found out how to fuse plastic bags together to make a material that is super easy to sew. So far I have made a couple of bags out of the plastic bags! Here are some pictures. One is a test bag, its really small, good to carry shoes in to and from work. And another big one that can fit a bunch of stuff, but unfortuch I already ripped a hole in it from over stuffing it. I have to patch that up.

Here is the big and small bag together:

Here is the first bag I made, it's small.

Here is the big bag. I thought my saying was super clever and my response to those overpriced canvas bags that say "I'm not a plastic bag" :

Close up of the front of the bag:
And the back of the big bag:

I am also in the process of making a big bag with cute pleats in it to make it puffy that I used a big letter "A" from a gap bag, right on the front that I am going to give my mom. I just have to make handles for that and I will post pictures of those also.

So Thank YOU THREADBANGERS.com . It's such a wonderful site I love it. I am also trying to make a vest from a vest tutorial. I'll post pictures soon of that also. I need to sew on the buttons.
