Giant Market or Beach Tote

Description

Perfect for a farmer's market trip or a day at the beach, this tote bag is big enough to fit everything! Or, if you want something smaller, just let me know and I will make it to fit your needs. The last photo above shows an example of a much shorter tote. It's made from a woven plastic chicken feed sack, saved from the landfill, upcycled to be used again and again. I added nylon handles, a narrow pleat on the sides, and some contrasting stitching in yellow blue and orange. The result is practical and fun.

This giant tote bag was inspired by my husband. He had been saving our chicken feed bags, hoping to upcycle them into something. Finally he asked me to help him come up with a design... and I ended up making what you see here.

Care: wipe clean with water and air dry.

Because I make each one of these to order, the bag you get may differ slightly from the one pictured.
