On a recent trip to Australia I noticed a really cool cotton rice bag in my cousins larder. He was unsurprisingly unimpressed by said bag but I fell in love with it and immediately formed my plans on how to make it more usable. As normally happens on holidays I moved on, and therefore alas I could not get my hands on the bag. When leaving Aus and finishing my packing at my aunts house I told my dad about the rice bag and my regrets and look what he pulled out!!!
He had been just as taken by the bags as me and been saving them! When he returned from Aus 3 months later I had a healthy supply, a few of which are pictured above!
As the bags only have little handles I decided to add a canvas belt that I got from a charity shop for 99p to make a shoulder strap. A few stitches on the sewing machine and there you have it!!! I think it is pretty cool :-)
