{I couldn’t resist}
I dedicate this little bag to the great state I live in {Idaho incase you didn’t know}. To make it, I used a total of two potato sacks. I dyed one of them an awesome turquoise color with some Rit dye. Did you know you can dye potato sacks? I didn’t. I took a leap of faith when I dumped my sack into the dye. Happily, my faith was rewarded. I actually sat with the dye bath, stirring with one hand and googled with my other whether or not potato sacks dyed. I really should have googled first. Luckily all worked out. I can’t wait to sport this around my new state. I’m California grown, but I’m quite in love with this potatoy place.
Oh my goodness that is amazing! I'm completely in love with it especially the turquoise button! and that you dyed one sack turquoise – how clever is that! If I was American I'd totally tell you to make more and sell them on etsy cause I'd definitely buy one…but I'm not American
so I can't shop on etsy 
or drink root beer freely whenever I please 
sad times! p.s you're from California? I am super jealous!
you love playing with colors and things we don't even care about.. don't you??? That's a talent.. cun imagine that!! The bag has turned out to be pretty great
I like ur outfit too
Love

Great purse. Very creative.
ok that is freaking awesome. and you look adorable.
This is precious!
The dying looks great! Did you know you can dye just about anything?! I recently dyed a pair of shoes. The RIT website has mixing recipes for any color you can imagine and different techniques for whatever you're dyeing.
awww, love it! I keep finding new things you can dye (like wood! and now potato sacks!).
the purse is great- love the pictures too.
This is such an awesome and cute idea!
I also love how you manage to combine such different colors together, so amazingly well!
The last photo is priceless ahaha love it.

That is a clever idea! And the handbag looks like not made up from a potato sack. The design and color looks so pretty.

I love the purse design and would love to have the pattern/instructions. Any chance you will post it on your site?
Funny you should ask… I’m currently working on the pattern! It probably won’t be out for a little while though. I’m thinking summertime??? I’m really happy to hear you like the design!
Where do you find the potato sacks?? Love the bag!
Thanks Jill! My dad actually gave me the potato sacks. We live in Idaho though, so it’s not too hard to find them. You could keep your eyes open at grocery stores for them in your area. Some potatoes still come in this type of sack. You could always come visit Idaho and pick some up! Haha! I wish I could be of better assistance! As a last resort, fabric stores sell burlap. You could still get a similar look with it.
