My birthing kits for the Craft Hope Konbit Sante project went in the mail today. To hold the contents of the birthing kits, I beautified some canvas bags that I bought at Joann's. I'm not in love with these canvas bags. I could not get the wrinkles out of them even though I rinsed them to remove the sizing. The next time I need a canvas bag, I think I will find a new source. I would like them to be softer, a more natural color, and I would also like to ditch the boxed bottom. Any one have a good supplier?
I think they look very good. I don't mind the colour, but I do see what you mean - the boxed corners are a little oddly done? I have picked up bags in bulk from oriental trading company.

I think because you beautified these bags, nobody is going to even glimpse at the boxed bottoms. I think these bags are going to become keepsakes. I can just imagine you being on a trip many years later, and seeing one of your bags still in use. The coordinating rick rack is perfect with the playful animals. You did good, Cassie.
On another note- I haven't forgotten about our project. It is still incubating. Carolina

Those bags are ADORABLE!!! Thanks for the hot tip -- it's a good one to remember. I'm thinking that the solution was right on -- I'll go through my reader and open up several windows, and then comment on them. And sometimes, I get lost doing some linking jumping as I'm reading along. I'll have to remember to refresh in the future!
And WHAT! is that adorable flower I see down below here??? Somehow, google reader and I haven't seen eye to eye on that post -- must run and read it now!!!
