Crafty moment

This week I managed to get my crafty arse on.  I am a complete hoarder of reusable shopping bags/totes. They are located in numerous places around my house and I'm never without one for my car booting/charity shop outings.

So it was time to pretty up my boring supermarket Jute bag with a bit of Cath Kidston fabric I've have knocking about for ages awaiting a good use...


Cue a bit of kitsch bowage ;o)

Bit better than before and I managed to cover the crappy supermarket logo:


The funny thing is that since I've made it I've had a couple of people putting orders in for one.  Here comes my dragons den business plan and my first million.... ;o)

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

Big Love

  8. That's just adorable! Such a simple idea but the pay-off is double as it looks very professional! Open an etsy store! xxx

  9. Fab idea! You could make a matching necklace, (slightly smaller though!)

  10. That's a wonderful idea, Scarlett! Looks better and no free advertising for the Lords of Mammon... I mean, supermarkets. Surely a polka dot bow is crying out to be added to the next bag? xxx

  11. Gorgeous. I would never have thought of giving them my own design. It looks lovely, and what is even better is you have gone from having a bag which is owned by hundreds to owning a bag that is owned by Only You (see what I did there, I even managed to squeeze in a little Elvis number tee hee) :) x x x x
