Description:
Use old stuff, clothes or sheets or whatever, and create a tote size bag!! It'll be fun!! Stay away from fabrics like wool and leather this time! Think summer! Upholstery weight cotton. as in jackets, is about as heavy as you want to go. I really love to use old sheets! Start now!

Are there any guidelines for size? Like grocery-bag-sized? I have some great thick material.

Also, is anyone planning on using animal-materials? Like wool, leather, etc? I ask b/c I'm vegan and wouldn't want to get those, so since it's sender's choice, I can just sit this one out if you are planning that. Thanks!

I used cotton fabrics in the bag I made.

Cool. Thanks for changing the rules for me. I just made two totes this week (for sewing class) and have more than enough of this cool fabric to make another one. :)

oh, and denim, too.

I have zero sewing machine skills. Would an 'altered' bag be accepted? if not, that's ok -- I'll just have to sit this one out.

Sewn!

@moosemama - denim typically IS cotton! :)
