This may be a strange present but actually it is something that I wanted. Three burlap coffee sacks from a London market. Now deciding what to make with them. Burlap has a stiff strength of its own but is coarse to touch and has a loose weave which makes it unstable. This makes it challenging to sew with-but I’m not afraid of a challenge. The printed designs can be used artistically for different types of bags and lining the insides for strength and comfort will finish the makes nicely. I’m thinking plant pot holders or tote bags for your shopping. Such fun! If you have an idea or have used burlap to sew please post your makes on the Facebook page for others to see.
