My husband recently came home from a convention\/trade\u00c2\u00a0show with about 4 canvas bags with company logos screened on them. I sewed in an inside pocket,\u00c2\u00a0then cut a strip of retro-look bark cloth and sewed it on the outside to cover the logos. It was a quick, fun project and the bags were free!<\/p>\n

Pictured below are plain, muslin bags Nancy bought for 99\u00c2\u00a2 a piece. She used light weight vintage fabrics to customize the bags. It’s a terrific project for novice sewers, and would make great gifts. As Nancy said, “Who doesn’t love a bag?”<\/em><\/p>\n
