Purses Made Out Of Feed Sacks

It is just so wonderful to see a purse that is made out of a feed sack!
I love the "green" feel to it.I love the outdoor, rural feel of reusing an existing burlap sack.
I love the feel of living off the land and making due with what you have that a real potato sack purse gives.


I love the feel of farming and country living that you get when you think of the original purpose of the feed sack.
Purses made out of burlap sacks are just wonderful!
Purses made out of feed sacks make you feel good to be alive!

Orange Sunset Haute Potato Sack Purse (Ginny Style)

Yes, I made another Ginny Potato Purse!
I swore I would never do it again, because they are so much work, but when my friend requested one for her birthday I could NOT turn her down!!!!!

So here it is. It is so cute, I forgive it (the purse, that is) for being so much work!

And isn't the lining she picked out so cheerful!!!
