weekend project: the un-paper bag

you really never can have too many tote bags, regardless whether it's to carry your groceries, as a stylish handbag substitute or merely to store silly stuff in. and why not make a truly stellar tote? so easy and so much potential for personalization.

this week's weekend project is the easy un-paper bag from purl soho. using two half-yards of fabric (one for the outside and one for the lining), a few other bits and bobs and a set of the truly yummy inazuma handbag handles from japan, this is a sure-fire compliment magnet.
