~~~~~Texas Size for a Texas Girl~~~~~~

Literally months ago my friend, Barbie, brought me this big bag.

It is a thick burlap with a crochet cover and drawstring handle.

In itself it was nothing I thought I could use.....much less actually carry myself.

However, with the lace weaving technique I am currently using,

I figured I would give it a "go" with all my scrap pieces of vintage laces.

I love the way the bag turned out, even though it took forever.

It's Texas size, but after all, I am a Texas girl.

It is great for shopping trips because it will hold everything.

You can get a better idea as to the actual design of the bag with it laying flat,

And also see the weaving a little better.

It uses all of your scrap laces as you can just tie them end to end if you don't

Have a long enough piece.

Add a big organza rose, and it's done.
