Funky Recycled Pet Food Bag Purse/tote.

This is a purse made from a pet food bag lined with white cotton from and old sheet and ribbon handles. The best ones to use are made from a plastic fiber. You can also use a paper type that you iron an iron-on plastic (available at most craft and fabric stores) to. This bag can be made with any type of bag to reflect your friends or your likes and hobbies.

One pet food bag(or bag that describes an individuals likes).
Mat Knife
Scissors
Recycled fabric for lining(I used an old sheet)
Needles or sewing machine
Thread
Ribbon

Using the mat knife cut the back from the bag leaving the entire side seam attached.

Cut the bag front piece in half. Then cut pieces of the sheet to match the same size of the cut bag pieces.

4step 3
Sew the two pieces of the bag together at the sides and bottom with the outsides facing each other.

Do the same thing for the lining with the sheet as in the previous step with the bag. (My cat wanted his food bag back :).

Push the side seam down until it touches the bottom seam and then stitch across the bottom corner about two inches from the point that is formed.

Repeat the previous step on the other corner. This allows for the bag to sit flat. Repeat this with the lining.

Turn the bag right side out. Then fold in the top edge about 1/2 inch all the way around.

Place the lining in the bag. Fold down 1/2 inch on the top of the lining all the way around. Then place the seam side of the lining against the seam side inside the bag so that they do not show. Pin the top edges together after placing the ribbon in between the lining and bag on both sides. Sew the top edges together.
