Bags have always gone down well on our village craft stall. We put out a call to the village for material and get in all sorts of fabric from curtains to clothing, so bags get made from whatever we have at the time. If you have a local area magazine, it's worth putting something in to ask for fabric, or your area Freecycle website. In this day and age, recycled or upcycled items are very popular. Also, lots of village have craft fairs, and for £10 a stall we've made £300 in sales on a day, so not bad going.I'd been watching money for nothing and again bags were being made, this time from old sacks.
I was later sorting through my drawers of too small (mostly) but barely worn cos last few summers haven't been hot enough, tops. One fell open in my hand and I just had hold of the shoulders straps and brain said handles, bags....and that was it.
Been doing a lot of "research" on Etsy shops for other bag ideas...I know one lady on forum makes bags from recycled denims using waistbands as top of bags... and today found a lady in USA had done the same thing with vest tops.....so I know I'm not the only "wacky" person in the world now
