Royal Rice Bag -- pictures added!

[lizadilly]

This is my first post! 

I made a purse out of recycled materials -- including a Royal Basmati Rice bag and an old Hoyts vest -- for my sister as a Christmas gift.

I can't post photos here because I'm too new (meow), but check out the before, after, and detail shots on my blog.  Thanks!

Extra-cute!  I could see a purse made with a burlap coffee bag, too.

OOH!  I know a guy who has a coffee company!  EEE!  Alas, I can barely sew on a button.  Guess I'll have to pay someone to sew a bag for me.

That is cute! I love random stuff like that. I would make a purse like this from a flour sack in my house, but my mom would probably kill me, as it is technically hers.

what a great job you did! The piping looks perfect and your little touches really add to the flavour!  Glad to hear she loves it! I think anyone would.
