One of my most popular projects is making purses and bags from patchwork. I carry one with me everywhere and always get comments on it. These bags are also for sale and cost $21. They are also made according to the customer's wishes.
Not all bags are made from patchwork, but they are all created using recycled materials. I have a few women who manage to keep me well stocked in material so I think I will have to keep sewing for at least the next 50 years or so :)
This one is made from plastic bags cut into strips and crocheted. I was completely amazed at how beautiful these bags are when finished. You really don't often associate beauty with plastic grocery bags. It's also a fantastic way to keep them out of the landfills. They do take a lot of bags though, so I'm always on the lookout for more. I think Target bags and Hobby Lobby provide the best colors.
It's time to get started on more projects. I think I may need more hours in the day.
