Well, I didn’t get enough of these recycled bags the first time around so I decided it was worthy of another post. After another google flurry I came across this incredible how to video from Make:

Bre Pettis of Weekend Projects teamed up with Anda of Etsy to not only explain how to fuse old discarded plastic bags, but sew them up into a sweet messenger bag using a pattern designed by Federico of Eeio. The video is short and sweet but covers the entire process. Make sure to grab the pdf for all the details along with the plans for the bag.

I can’t tell you how stoked I am about this project. I was just discussing with my friend Rhea the other day about how I wanted to make my own messenger bag as opposed to dropping close to a buck fifty for a Chrome bag. Although I totally covet those bags, I have really been wanting to make my own, that would perfectly hold a load of groceries, and my library books when I’m out running errands. Maybe this podcast will be enough motivation to actually complete one!
