When I was on vacation in Minnesota I found a dozen burlap coffee bean bags. I kept thinking there has got to be some great uses for these bags. I plan on using some to upholster stools and make pillows
But, what else.....then this idea came to me.
How cute would a burlap pocket be on an apron!
I cut out the words from one bag which still leaves the picture graphics for another project. I then sewed on vintage red rick rack and black vintage lace. I love the play between the lace and burlap.
And of course I love myself some polka dots
Since I got back from vacation I have so many ideas swirling around my head. I have a couple more ideas for using burlap, but that will have to wait until I finish my current sewing project and the two painting projects I will share with you when I finish them.
Oh, and then I have got to start working on Christmas projects for my booth, website, and gifts.....Yes, we have to start thinking about the holidays! OK... all together now GROAN!!!!
Happy Creating!

I'm definitely not a burlap girl, but this is cute. I bet they'll sell well at your booth.
I am a polka dot girl however. So I love to drop by and visit the polka dot closet!

Groan.........!!! Started back in March and will be wondering if I'll finish in time for Santa again this year.
Love your apron. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.
This is a fabulous idea and I'm sure you won't have them in your booth for long!!

I think you should try and sell a couple of burlap bags in your store and see what happends. Hard to find in my neck of the woods!
Let us know how fast those aprons sell...

Very smart apron with the burlap. I hear all burlap...even in colors...is all the rage. Yes, GROAN to the holidays however I have been seeing Halloween cuties getting me antsy. Until then...Summer Sunshine Smiles...
This is so cute! I love it! I would love to get my hands on adorable bags like that!
I wouldn't have thought of it, but YOU would. I keep seeing burlap treasures in blogland, and I need to get on the band wagaon.
Thank you for stopping by Carol and your sweet comment on my giveaway!!
i am always TOTALLY inspired when I read your posts and your photos are so beautiful - crisp - and clear!! I am jealous - in a good way of course! I just cant seem to get good ones anymore :-(
Your aprons are darling and I just know you'll come up with some ingenious ways to create with the rest of the burlap!!

Okay... I know I would forget to take it off... : )
That came out adorable and I LOVE all the Coffee Burlap Bags you got... You know I have asked some local Markets if they ever have any left over Burlap and they say they have to discard it...HHHMMMM!!!! what do you think...???
So happy to have you back...
xoxoxo
your FAVORITE niece...
I am so happy you had a great time Carol!! I Love this idea of yours and your Sacks are so nice too!! Mine are so bulky~ I think my sewing machine would get scared and run away if I brought one of my sacks near it!! I agree with you I am loving the Burlap & Lace mix, I found another fabric too that looks like Burlap and is really soft and nice to work with~ I can't spell it though~
Thanks for stopping by my Blog, I still have to draw that Winner, darn I forgot :(
Have a Great Week Carol!!
Huggs, Nancy
Nice to see these used in a different way.
This turned out so cute Carol!
Found your blog just by surfing other blogs comments. Love the look I see. I enjoy burplap and love what your doing. Every time I see a dress form I start looking for one again. Someday I'll have one. Stop by my little corner of Oz.
