The most important thing one needs for school (besides books, pens and a brain) is a bag to carry everything. I wanted a bag that would work for all my needs and still be cute at the same time. Being insanely cheap also wouldn’t hurt. So I whipped this one up with some fabrics I got at this one little thrift on Main St.
The fabric is printed to look like woven straw and was intended to be for outdoor projects. Still, I couldn’t resist the irony of using it for a bag. If you look at it from a distance and squint your eyes, it does look like a straw bag. Maybe I can use the scraps to make little “straw” baskets.
Anyway, I used some of the material from my binder cover to make the strap and as an accent. Now the binder and bag match. I wonder if it’s a little too much to be coordinating school supplies? Hmm.
Here’s the updated list:

Nine down and out. Now I just have to wait, Summer classes start next week. Should have my next list up by then too, assuming I need to make anything else for class. Hope so.
A fun little bag! I think it's great to co-ordinate your school supplies...
ReplyDeleteYeah, at least everyone can tell which is mine.
